Hello everyone!

LIVING IN GHENT

I finished my master in the audio visual arts in Ghent (Belgium) and do acrobatics (partner-acro, acroyoga, ground acro, recently acrodance) as a hobby. My purpose for the future is to combine cinema with circus arts.
At the moment I work as a teacher in a circus school and I'm making a short movie about movement.

I like dancing (in particular salsa), outdoor sports, reading and making music.

Oh and I love cooking! Ofcourse I adjust to the place and the people, but I try to discover more delicious vegetarian and vegan food. As I stay at your place I'll do all I can to make a yummy meal, as love goes through the stomach!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives an opportunity to meet locals and other travelers, and share similarities and differences. Until now I only had very beautiful Couchsurfing experiences and it makes me happy to meet people who have faith in humanity, like to share experiences, but also their living space and believe in the goodness of the people.

I would like to see new places and learn to know people with different cultures. I'm learning Spanish, French and English and I think this is a good way to improve them. I also want to learn new music, films, new dances, new ways of thinking, etc.

I prefer to meet girls through this platform, as I sadly understood that some people see this as an opportunity to date. I'm definitely not excluding guys, but I want you to know that I am searching for/ offering a safe environment without uncomfortable comments or looks.

At the moment I'm also really into flamenco music!
