About Me

⚠️ CHANCES I CAN HOST YOU ARE PRETTY SLIM ⚠️

I am pretty busy and i receive à lot of requests
At the moment i share a flat with my friend Julie and even though she’s super kind she isn’t super keen on hosting.
So only possible if she’s away

SPONTANEOUS REQUESTS MOST WELCOMED
I like spontaneity and i'll have troubles answering you if you request 2 months in advance, you're still welcome though haha

Hi ! Nice to meet you !

I'm Alexis, 29yo, I come from France and I'm currently doing my medical residency in the beautiful city of Marseille.

I arrived in Marseille in November 2021 and have been living every minute of it
I spend a lot of my free time going outside with my friends climbing, diving and partying, you might meet some of them if you stay with me

At the moment i live in a beautiful apartment in the center of Marseille with my friend Julie.
Depending on the situation you might have to sleep in the living room or in my room where i can lay a mattress on the floor

I love traveling all around the world, mostly by hitchhiking !
We also had multiple bike trips with my parents and siblings in South America, Oceania and Europe.
My passion is urban unicycling, i've been riding with my brother for more than 7 years, and the unicycle community allowed us to make friends across the globe, and to travel with them.
I also took a year off my studies to hitchhike from France to New Zealand with my backpack and my unicycle, you can check it out on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TheUnitchhiker/?fref=ts)
or on Instagram (alexismercat) if you want to see how hitchhiking travel looks like !

After receiving so many good vibes and help during my travels i'm more than ready to help travelers passing by, so hit me up !

See you soon !

(I know it looks like i've only been choosing to host girls lately, but the fact is i almost only receive requests from girls haha so guys are more than welcome too 😁)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet crowds of awesome people
To help the traveling folks feel home outside of home, make some friends and discover my beautiful region !
To get help on my hitchhiking trips and discover new cultures, regions and faces

Mostly because i love anything that is new to me !! :D
