ABOUT ME

Hello!

My name is Britt, and I was born in a small town in Belgium.
I'm 29 years old and got graduated as a Master in Photography in 2012.

Currently I'm working and living in Ghent (Belgium) and soon I'll be off to Peru and Bolivia (february 2018) to start a new photo project in the Andes and Altiplano, about alpaca farming.

You can check a bit of my photos from previous projects I've done on my website: http://www.brittvangenechten.be

So if you feel like meeting up and talking/helping me a bit with my project, give me a shout!
Looking forward to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Feb/march/april 2012: my first expierences with CS, while traveling in Chile and Argentina.
I still have contact with these people, hope to see them again some day!

apr/sept/october 2013: Shanghai
made some really good friends over here, and meeting a bunch of people for my photography project that I've made there.
Without CS this wouldn't been possible, so I'm very happy 'bout that.

April 2016: Did a few CS meetings in Ushuaia (Argentina) in a bar.

Currently: Still got some really good friends around the world that I've met trough Couchsurfing, like Ryo (from Vietnam), Fernando (from Rio Grande, Argentina), Monica (Ushuaia, Argentina), Jade (China), that I still see and hear from time to time.
