About Me

ABOUT ME

Here are some things I love: to learn new things, meeting up with friends, going on roadtrips, enjoying a good book with a nice glass of wine, walking bear food on fresh mowed grass, cooking but even more eating and so much more!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met some nice people during my travels in Europe. My housemate also started to host people in our appartment, with a lot of nice encounters and atmosphere as result.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent the last months in Bolivia and this country tops everything on the area of nature. I guess the nicest thing I've seen here is the salar. Culturally: it was the Quesha wedding where I was invited (drinking chicha with the others while blessing the pachamama and dancing around a pile of meat) and the warmth and friendliness of this population.

Other memorable experience was in Marocco: watching the final of the world cup in a barn with a maroccan family in an isolated village of the Andes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking so I can teach to make some nice Belgian dishes. I can teach some of the languages I speak.

In general I love learning new things from other people!
