Freshly graduated, starting adult life.

I am a cheery person who at the same times can be very serious. I love to laugh and learn from people, have long talks and stroll in cities. I like to cook, to read and listen to stories. But I can also be all sporty and competitive.

I love Ghent. I have been a student of its university and could not leave after. I hope that I can 'transfer' my enthusiasm for the city to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You haven't seen a place until you have met its locals

Interests

I'm interested in politics in general, but particularly in issues of migration and criminal justice. I can talk hours about these topics and am very interested in other people's opinion on the matter. (Not that I would make you formulate an opinion)

But overall, I am quickly interested in any subject that someone wants to talk about.

• human rights
• hiking
• history
• languages
• stories

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done parts of the Camino and I completely loved the whole experience

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to improve my foreign languages (especially my French), and learn to whistle :). In return, I can learn you some Dutch.
