ABOUT ME

After studying and working for 1,5 years in Beijing I decided to explore an entirely new continent, Africa. After travelling and interning in Johannesburg for around 8 months, (a crazy place i would recommend to explore to everybody) and subsequently living in Vienna for a while I am now studying in Belgium to get a proper law degree ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's simply the best way to get to know like-minded people anywhere around the world. Plus, it gives me (and you) the opportunity to experience places through a local's eyes, which makes every trip a unique adventure.

Interests

I love hiking and being outside which is probably due to my being a scout when I was little ;) One of my biggest hobbies is discovering new hiking routes everywhere I travel. I've just been to a really cool crater close to Pretoria and it's so awesome for me, coming from Europe, to see zebras just walking past you ;)

Since Belgium is rather flat I've found a new hobby, trying a new beer every night. It's not a hyp, the beer here is really the best in the world ;)
