I'm Alex. I come from a village about 50km from Paris; spent all my youth there.
I studied in Leicester (England) for two years and a few months after I decided to move in Lyon.
Now, back to studies ! I am doing a master in automation and working at the same time (sandwish course).
I enjoy walking around the city, going out, meeting new people, running or some other sports, cooking, guiding people around my city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally, I created an account in order to find a place to stay for a few days during holidays with a friend a few years back. We found a place, it was awesome.
Now I have a big enough flat with a couch to offer so I can host people back.
I live near the city center of Lyon (most would say it is the city center) where everything happens, I'd be happy to share that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Old french comedies (la Grande Vadrouille, 7è compagnie, etc);
New french comedies (RRRrrr, La Tour Montparnasse Infernale, etc; must see by every young French);
Love the ones with mind blowing endings, the kind nobody really expect and are totally awesome (Butterfly Effect, Donnie Darko, etc);
Gangster movies (Scarface, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, etc, sooo many!);
Some love stories like Twilight... kidding, I didn't like the first one so much, didn't check the others, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a good love story.
I basically enjoy a lot of movies.
Not a big fan of horror movies with scenarios more shitty than the ones in porn movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a safari in Kenya (the one for the pictures, not the killing), saw lions hunting and eating a buffalo, been slightly charged by an elephant (we were in a car, but still!), and lot of great things!

"Piloted" a helicopter (just took the stick for a few minutes while in the air).

Scuba diving in the South of France.

Diving from cliffs in Sardinia (no more than 5/6 meters but it still hurt my head when I dived head first; stupid idea).

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
A lot of things because I am awesomely well instructed.

Modesty.
And Czech! Started to learn back in September 2017; a bit every working day.
