About Me

An easy going student Law from Belgium doing an one semester exchange in Australia. I am a social, hardworking, chaotic, but calm person. I began to love traveling since the start of my exchange and my trip to Japan. I like to enjoy life. Love to meet interesting travelers from different cultures visiting Sydney and discover every day new experiences. Enjoy having a one-on-one talk while having a relaxed drink and listening to all kind of music. Even if you’re not staying, always welcome to hang out. New to this community due to my exchange. Mostly of during the day due to classes and studying, but available at night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from all around the world to broaden my mindset, especially during my exchange. Every single person have new stories and experience, I would love to know all of them.
