Hi there!

I'm Claire, I live in a village called Biesmerée (about 30km from Namur) with my boyfriend.

I grew up in the south of France but after completing my bachelor's degree, I moved to many places until I set up here, in this little paradise. I am very keen on living abroad, volunteering and getting to know local people when I'm travelling.

If you wanna discover something different than cities and explore the belgian countryside, that's the place to be. We live in a big caravan and there's enough space to put up a tent or sleep inside if it's too cold outside ;)
There's a lot to see, to do and to share !

Je m'appelle Claire, j'habite le village de Biesmerée en province de Namur avec mon copain.

Depuis mes 18 ans, j'ai pas mal crapahuté et vécu à l'étranger avant de m'installer ici, dans ce petit coin de paradis.

Si vous êtes de passage et que vous désirez découvrir autre chose que la ville, que vous avez envie de plonger dans les méandres de la campagne belge, c'est le lieu idéal. Nous vivons en roulotte mais il y a suffisamment d'espace pour planter une tente ou dormir à l'intérieur s'il fait un peu trop froid dehors ;)
Plein de choses sont à voir, à faire et à partager!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be on CS is a nice way to meet people from all over the world. It makes you step out of your comfort zone and expand your horizons.

Interests

I like finding out about new cultures and lifestyles from people in different parts of the world. I'm interested in arts and literature as well as politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read essays and novels of many kind. Among my favourite authors are Emile Zola, Albert Camus, Edward Abbey, Nancy Huston and some others... !

I'm mostly listening to rock music but I also like jazz, funk, blues, punk, soul... Well, pretty much every kind of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013, I moved from Perpignan (south of France) to Finland to do my Erasmus there. So from the heat and sun to the deep darkness :p

In 2015, I moved to Spain and started to give private language lessons while I was learning Spanish myself.

On summer 2017, I hitchhiked through the Balkans for a month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French, English or Spanish. I'd be interested myself in learning other languages (or at least some basics). Robin, my boyfriend, doesn't speak any foreign language (except old Walloon ;)). He's really skillful with his hands so he could teach you some stuff related to construction, bike repairing, wood chopping etc. You can also give a hand in the garden if you like :)
We're very keen on learning new skills, sharing any kind of knowledge, discovering dishes :)

Je peux vous enseigner un peu d'anglais, d'espagnol ou de français. J'aimerais moi-même apprendre de nouvelles langues (ou du moins quelques notions). Robin, mon amoureux, ne parle que français (et maîtrise l'accent wallon !) mais il est très doué de ses mains. Il peut donc vous apprendre des choses en lien avec la construction, la réparation de vélos, la coupe de bois et autres joyeusetés. Vous pouvez donner un coup de main dans le jardin si le coeur vous en dit.
De notre côté, nous serions enchanté.es de partager toutes sortes de savoirs et compétences. Tout comme de découvrir de nouveaux plats :)
