About Me

Hi there ! I'm Alexis, a french guy whose life goal is to create stories and to make the world better. I know it may not sound very original, but since a few months I really try to understand people to make the world a better place.

It sounds like a childish dream, but I'd like to create a community where everybody would have a perfect life. For that purpose, I'm reading books about the human nature (ethics, empathy, etc) and trying to learn lots of numerous skills (permaculture, natural medicine, languages, etc) that could be useful in the future, to make this dream come true, because I think life is too short to be angry or sad. We need to focus on what could make us happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm mainly there to meet people from all around the world !
