About Me

Hi, I'm Alex! I'm 22 years old and graduated from the University of Southampton with a master's in biomedical engineering but am now working in management consulting.

Alongside my work I'm also a social entrepreneur
passionate about sustainable development, and have traveled to East Africa several times as well as India and China to work on many development projects - which is what gave me the travel bug! I'm now on a mission to see as much of the world as I can, and make friends everywhere I go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a mission to make friends everywhere I go in the world! Hanging out with locals is something you can't do if staying in a hotel but couchsurfing adds a whole new dimension to travelling and makes it so much more fun

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Set up a water and food security social enterprise that impacted 3,000+ lives in Kenya and Malawi, then travelled to NYC to present it at the UN headquarters

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm half French and half English and fully fluent in both, so if you want someone to practice with I'm your man.
I also play guitar if you're partial to some jamming
Hopeless at cooking but I try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can tell some crazy travel stories, share some of the development work I've done internationally, have political rants about Trump and Brexit etc... Whatever floats your boat!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Macao, Malawi, Netherlands, Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States
