About Me

I am living in Belgium near Antwerp and try to travel as much as possible. You could say I’m an addict. I have been an event planner for 10 years and now I’m looking into some new opportunities which allow me to travel more for my job. I am a calm but very optimistic person and like to explore, get caught up in interesting conversations, eat good & healthy food, have lots of fun and laugh my heart out. I LOVE my friends, new adventures and beautiful things, especially home and interior design, nature landscapes and handcrafted artwork.

My favourite things: adventure, change, love, animals, pasta, travelling, spring, finding beauty in unexpected places or in a strangers’ eyes, friendships for life, learning about other cultures, me-time, citytrips, riding a bike on an island, singing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I’m on a really long trip ( 6-10months) now and am planning to travel more and more in the future, I think the best way to do this is to meet some interesting and fun people while doing so.
