I’m from Belgium. After 10 years living in Singapore, my partner (since then husband) and I moved to Mauritius and are now settling in paradise.

I’ve been traveling a lot in the past but happy to take a break now and enjoying a slower and more peaceful lifestyle in an idyllic location.

With my husband and my best friend we are running a lifestyle magazine about Mauritius and organise very regularly m meetups to help expats meet new people and mingle with locals: https://frolic.mu !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some travelers in Luxembourg from September 2012 to 2014, regularly going to CS events and organized many pub crawls and other types of social events with Couchsurfing in Luxembourg and then in Singapore!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a lot during my trip in Australia in April and May 2012 and in Dubai in June 2012 ! It was every time an amazing experience which allowed me to meet locals, find out more about the australian culture and experience something different than hostels ! I am surprised at every new couchsurfing to see how people can be friendly and trustful !! During 2 years in Luxembourg, I've hosted some travelers and it was always a real pleasure!
