About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a Job!

ABOUT ME

Tall, blond girl, always positive and smiling! Generous, looking for some adventure! I'm the youngest of a family of 4 children. Both my parents are doctors. They all have travelled a lot. My mother spent her lifetime on the road and gave us the desire to go abroad and live a maximum of adventures. We are a very very close "pack" but all very independent. We (the children) have all been to boarding school for 3 to 4 years. I'm actually half Dutch, half Belgian. My mother is Dutch but because of her constant travelling around being younger, she is impregnated with a lot of different cultures! So we grew up in a Dutch-English-Belgian environment embellished with the multicultural spirit of my mother and it has been very enriching.

PHILOSOPHY

ENJOY LIFE!!!!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None with this website but i've always welcomed friends and their friends into my home if I can!

Interests

I'm currently looking for a job since I graduated 5 months ago. But whenever I have some spear time I go away for a weekend, Visit some friends abroad : Paris, London, Vienna, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Lille, etc. I'm also a photographer, I always have my camera with me and take picture of (too) much things! I used to ride horse a lot, but I don't have the time or money to ride anymore.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not a precise sort of music, I listen to a lot of different kind of music depending the people I m with, the musical culture of the country I am in. I love latino music (I grew up with 4 equatorian brothers who dance all the time salsa), rock and roll (yeaaah),... but if I had to chose 1 type of music it would be jazz and soul music (and of course also French music)! I read a lot! My mother reads so much that every week she adds a book to my list. I'm a big fan of movies, my culture of movies is huge so I sometimes prefer to watch a good movie than to read... it depends on my state of mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying in Maastricht was probably the best idea I had in my entire life since I met friends from everywhere around the world which is very enriching!
