Overview
About Me
Bonjour, Hola, Hi ! I'm 21, I grew up in a big Belgian-Spanish family in the french speaking part of Belgium. So I'm half spanish and half belgian, since young I've been mixing many languages.
The spanish side of my family is from Bilbao, a lovely city in the Basque country and my Belgian family is from Belgian 'Wallifornia'.
I'm currently studying a master degree in Urban studies with an economic background. I studied abroad at Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska (U.S.) where I met many international students. This amazing experience opened my mind.
I'm also into all kind of musics and, in fact, I'm a trumpetist playing in a few bands during my free time. My objective is to start playing in the Jazz world!
I enjoy having interesting conversations with open minded people. I love travelling, nature hiking, meeting new people and having a good time in bars drinking Belgian beers and sharing stories about anything !

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy all kinds of music. I listen mostly to instrumental music, jazz bands, Ska, classic music, alternative rock, belgian rap, etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sailing in the baltic sea from Rønne (German Island) to Thisted (North Denmark) and Stoping in Copenhagen was one of my best trips !
I also frequently go mountain hiking in the Pyrenees or in the "Picos de Europa" (North Spain), that's awesome.
I studied abroad in Omaha Nebraska (U.S.) where I got in touch with the interesting Midwest American culture and its friendly people.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to learn about people's culture, philosophy and opinions about whatever comes in mind during a conversation. In fact, I believe traveling is about sharing and meeting people. I also consider myself as an open-minded, friendly person who likes to both learn and have a good time.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Making crêpes is my main cooking skill, I could show you that. I'm also into Basque and Belgian culture (music, tradition, etc.). I also would be happy to help you with the French and Spanish language if you want !
