About Me

Hi ! I'm from Belgium. I do massage and healing sessions for almost 15 years. I like singing and playing music, walk in the nature, and most of all, learn every day.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present, trust in the Universe, keep Faith in all occasions, believe in the Magic of Life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new contacts, friends, and share together about culture, food, massage, volunteer/work opportunities, collaboration, etc

I like the spirit of Couchsurfing, I have hosted a few times via the platform, and I have a lot of experience in hosting, as I worked in a spiritual center with accommodation for several years.

Interests

I am following a spiritual path for many years. It doesn’t mean I never have fun, go out or that I live perfectly. But I am a calm person (most of the times :), and peaceful.

I love to try new tastes in food, I also like to meditate, make long walks, play some music and sing.
My other interests are nature, cinema, ice-skating, computers, web-blogging.

I love watching birds and insects, especially ants. They're amazing.
