Hello! My name is Alex and I'm a 30 year old male originally from France. I've spent 10 years in the U.S. split between Boston, NYC, Orange County, and now SF. I moved to the Bay Area in early 2023 and enjoy the city and the wilderness surrounding it.

I love jiu jitsu, reading, and going on motorcycle trips. I also enjoy cooking, meeting new people, and sharing food.

I discovered CS as a traveler in 2020 when I went on a 10,000km motorcycle trip around the Balkans in Europe. I hosted a few people in 2021 when I was living in NYC and excited to start hosting again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered CS while traveling in 2020 and would like to give back to a community which welcomed me in a pandemic year.

Music, Movies, and Books

A little bit of everything. Recently that's been rock and rap (Counting Crows, Eminem, My Morning Jacket), sci-fi and westerns novels (Three Body Problem, Dune, Lonesome Dove), and anime and action flicks (Psycho Pass, Solo Leveling, Fight Club, Seven Samourai).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove from France to Albania during the pandemic. 10/10 better than staying in an overcrowded apartment in Boston for 9 months.
