I'm a Belgian, living in Rotterdam. I'm relaxed, gentle and kind, love coziness, but also appreciate a healthy dose of craziness. I work in the field of theatre: making my own performances or working on those of others as an actor, writer or technician. Next to that I play and make music (piano). At times I can be calm and quiet - at other times I'm full of energy, bouncing off the walls. But always with a lot of respect for the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love helping out people. If you have an extra bed, why not share it. But also because I like to meet new people and learn about other countries and cultures. And also: it's always good to have couchsurfer-friends all over the world. It can come in handy when traveling myself..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many... But one fantastic experience was Woofing at a horse farm in La Palma on the Canary Islands. To experience a different lifestyle - getting up early, feeding the horses and other animals, spraying the plants, clearing the horse shit, picking vegetables or cactus fruit, ... but also enjoying the beauty of nature around and an occasional trip on the horses... It was a completely different life style than in the hectic Netherlands or Belgium.
