About Me

I love meeting new people and having deep and intimate discussions on various topic. Particularly on topics where we could open our minds/have blind spots. There is, I believe, where one learns the most.

I wish to travel the world through the Human journey of a cyclist. I already did go to Vienna and to Istanbul by bike. I don't know where the future will lead me to... Maybe cycling through Iran and why not even India one day!

I'm actively involved in promotion of sustainability in economics, management, and at the company I work for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to live new experiences and have to chance to meet both people from cultures I know little of and people who have had the chance to have met different cultures.

I would love to learn about new ways of cooking, improving my Spanish, learning more about love and meeting people with different perspectives :) I love discovering new mindset, new realities, new ways of touching and seeing the world !

Please note I only host people who stay at least two nights. Otherwise it's not really possible to get go know each other.

Interests

Above all, I love cycling ! It's my daily practice.
I also love windsurfing and climbing which are unfortunately not as easy to practice every day, not as cycling.

I also like watching series (Suits, Scorpions, Orange is the New black, Casa Del Papel, Person of Interst, ...) and playing board games.
I love meeting new people and be relax, discovering cultures I know little about. I'm also curious on what your definition of love is. There are so many ways to express, give and recieve love.

Music, Movies, and Books

The last book I've read: reinventing organisation. I'm passionated to understand how organisations can function in a decentralized way.

I love movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Inception, Tenet, 3 idiots, In Time, The Martian and all movies about space and time.

I like piano, pop-rock music and also some classical from time to time.
To be honest, I listen to almost everyting. I'm not very difficult with music unless it's metal music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well... Why not discussing it along with a cup of tea/coffee ? :)

I guess my most crazy adventure was the 1st time I went by bike to the sea.... We've had rain every single day!
I made that trip with a swimming short and my windsurfing shoes. It was a wonderful experience to make a journey as such, under those circumstances.

My second most crazy adventure is : Living with people from different cultures while staying in Brussels, which I did for 4months without knowing where I'd sleep the week after. Such an amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you improve your French and maybe show you the city from a belgian perspective if compatible with my work schedule. Buuuut, we can eat one of the best French fries in town ;)

In case you're afraid in cycling within ap city, I've followed a training to teach people how to bike in cities. There are some tricks to know which may help make it a more pleasant journey on the bike.

I would love to improve my Spanish ;)
I would like to know about your culture and traditions!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I work full-time but I enjoy having breakfast, I'll love to share breakfast with you if timing allows it on your side.

I would love to cook for/with you and why not try new cooking :) If you wish tips on what to visit or wish to do particular things, I can share some recommendations.

I'm located 10min walking from the city center.
My flat is 5 min by foot from the train/Bus.
