About Me

** LAST MINUTE 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, 27yo, 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
We are three active and energetic guys living in a nice apartment a bit outside the city center in the 8th.
We love sharing some time with our guests if we can and share some meals, drinks and maybe go climb, swim or hike in the area.

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 😁)
