Hi, I'm Alexis

23 years old french boy studying in Paris, I'm originally from a small town in France. I love walking (alone or with friends, one hour at sunrise after a party or three days in the mountains, in big cities around the world or in the countryside). I also enjoy travelling, as long as it's not luxurious because I like sobriety and simplicity.
My ideal evening ? A long lasting dinner with my close friends at my house, with good meals and good wine, sharing laughs and philosophical/historical conversations.

I love the unplanned.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to welcome people in Paris, show them around, and share my love for my city !

I used to stay in hostels, but the meal sharing, random philosophical/political conversations at 2am are even more authentic at someone's place, which is a part of themself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
Charles Péguy. I recommand "L'argent" ("Money") beautifully describing the turn of the XXth century in terms of relationship with money and work habits.

Saint Exupery, don't miss "Le petit Prince", it is relevant from 5 to 90+ years old !

Fernand Braudel, if you're into french history, or want to understand the french identity.

Pushkin's short novels in the metro, always better than scrolling on Tiktok. Or long novels with a candle + vodka + Shostakovich atmosphere.
Albert Camus, "Les Noces" to feel connected to nature.

Music
I listen to all kinds of music. It really depends on the mood—sometimes classical, sometimes jazz, sometimes electronic or French rap.

Movies
I’m not much of a moviegoer

Open to recommendations, and looking forward to sharing about that !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1300km hitchhiking in Patagonia. So many encounters ! Crazy landscape, nice people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything I've learned in shool, university, books, people or life is worth sharing. I'll be glad to learn what you can teach me about life, and your point of view on it.
