About Me

I'm a 25-year old Belgian, who's studying to become an interpreter. I love to learn new things/skills. I absolutely love to travel and see new places. I geek out on history and love museums/monuments/old ruins.
Watching shows and movies is a bit of an addiction of mine, but the thing I adore the most is food. Trying new recipes, walking around markets..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet free-spirited, open people so the concept speaks to me. It's also a great way to meet new people in general.

Although I must admit that I've never stayed at someone's place through Couchsurfing (I always stay in the cheapest room in the cheapest hostel), I've used it on numerous occasions to go to events in the place I'm visiting.

Interests

Travelling, food, meeting new people, learning about new cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: basically anything, as long as it's not too extreme.

Movies: I like most genres, except horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is much to hard so I'll put down a few different ones.
- random open air cinema playing old Tom & Jerry cartoons while I was getting lost in Budapest with a friend.

- Helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the Belgian ways of beer, waffles and (Belgian) fries. I'm somewhat skilled in origami and I can teach you how to use Office.

Furthermore, I'll gladly teach you some phrases in Dutch, French or English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thanks to Ryan Air, I've become incredibly proficient at packing enough stuff to stay somewhere for a week in a standard suitcase.

I can help around the house or apartment and can do basic repairs. I know my way around a computer.

I can share some stories and I'd love to give you tips on any places I've visited before, maybe take along some maps I have left.
