I'm a bit shy. I like to travel on my own, and show people around here in Belgium. I am an artist, and cannot travel much. But I need to be far away from little Belgium sometimes. Traveling feels like breathing fresh air. I also want to respect other cultures as much as possible, and will be terribly sorry if I come across as unpolite!

I am half-Italian and speak the language. I also lived in Finland for 9 months as a student. Now and then I do model work for photographers and artists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel abroad on a budget (I really am not that rich) and in return I want to host people at my home or show them around. I like to be social, even if sometimes I can be awkward.

Music, Movies, and Books

Siddharta by Herman Hesse. I read mostly non-fiction though. I also love Haruki Murakami, Umberto Eco, Judith Butler.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many little moments can be amazing. Even in difficult times, a simple ray of sunshine or a warm tea can be a blessing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and I like to teach and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am afraid when traveling on a budget I cannot bring anything! (I need to travel very light) But I'd be glad to help pay the groceries for evening dinner, or to do some little job in the house (like doing the dishes, cleaning, babysitting) if you want me to. Of course I can share stories, but most of all I like to listen.
