CURRENT MISSION

Keep living, keep learning.

ABOUT ME

European living in Brussels. I expected to stay 6 months, it's been 10 years. So there must be something about this crazy city. It hasn't cured my itchy feet though, and travelling is still one of life's great pleasures (and I hope it stays that way!)

PHILOSOPHY

Compassion and kindness. Do no harm but take no sh*t.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Used to host and surf, now I mainly keep in touch. But feel free to hit me up - always open to meeting interesting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best - discovering the kindness of strangers is the most amazing thing.

Interests

People, ways of thinking and ways of living, balance in body and mind, the pleasures of life - good wine, good beer, good food, music that makes you vibrate, crisp morning air, hitting snooze, belly laughs (especially the unexpected and possibly inappropriate kind)...

• arts
• street art
• dancing
• dining
• cooking
• vegan
• traveling
• cycling
• cartography
• geology
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen mainly to folk, rock and electro, and love concerts and festivals. Brussels has some great concern venues - let me know if you would like some recommendations.

As for books I read a lot of Kundera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Steinbeck, Paul Auster, Murakami back in the day. Now I am discovering historical fiction (Wolf Hall was a revelation) and trying to read more non-fiction... but sometimes there's nothing like some good chick lit to switch your brain off :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a mountain pass in Albania and ran a marathon in Germany - both things I would never even have imagined doing 5 years ago.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach... French, English, some leftover German? How to play the harp badly :)

I'd love to learn: more Dutch and Spanish, more veggie/vegan cooking, more about mindfulness. Let's be good to the world and ourselves.
