Welcome to my profile. If you've come this far, it's because you're interested in one of my tours, and I thank you for that. I'm going to tell you a little about my professional career, and I hope we walk together sharing the exciting history of Berlin, scene of the most important events of the 20th century, the rise of Nazism and the Cold War, which are fundamental to understand the world we live in today.
I have a Bachelor in Philosophy and three master's degrees: in teaching Philosophy in secondary schools; teaching Spanish as a foreign language; and I am Extraordinary Award in the Social Studies of Science and Technology master's degree. Thanks to my excellent thesis supervisors and my internship at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid, I learned the importance of academic accuracy and different research methodologies from internationally renowned researchers. My years of teaching in intercultural contexts allowed me to put all this knowledge into practice and taught me to adapt my discourse to different teaching contexts.
My tours are the result of my academic background, and the outcome of a conscious research process. The 'Side to Side' project was born with a very clear objective: to understand the essence of each of these historical events by walking and reflecting together on the streets, memorials, and empty spaces that, in Berlin, have so much to tell us.
If you want to know more, don't hesitate: reserve your spot while there is still availability. I hope to see you soon. Best regards and thank you for reading.
Alexis is passionated by Berlin's history and he brings his enthusiasm into the tour. Highly recommended
Great tour full of information and insights
Alexis was great! The amount of effort and detail which he has put into his work really shows! I liked that he got to know each one of us. He adds a sense of humour to facts but also handles certain topics with utmost respect and emotion when required. He knows some very interesting anecdotes about the subject. Pictures and videos were a great addition since many of the sites have changed during the years or even entirely removed. Highly recommend for those who wish to visit important locations of the Nazi era in Berlin.
Alexis has spent many years studying the atrocities of Nazi Germany and conveyed the information expertly! I highly recommend this tour.
