Hello, bonjour, namaste ! Introducing myself as a typical Belgian product in all B's: Barbara, from Belgium, lives in Brussels, plays Bass guitar, likes Banana Bread, to have a Babbel (have a chat) with some Beer ... ok maybe that's enough for now ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Total newbie on coachsurfing, I would be delighted to meet locals and discover your (sub)culture (movies, music, books, history, ...), your favorite spots, food, and live music places, and spend a nice time together !

Can't host at the moment because I live in a shared apartment, but I love hosting and would really love to do so later on!
