ABOUT ME

I started doing this with my flatmate Sarah and then we were called SARAH N CORINE. She's moved on, left me with our account, I moved on, lived my dream in Addis Ababa in Africa and then I moved back to my home-city Gent.
Now I am back in Africa this Time in Zambia.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't cry when the sun goes down your tears won't allow you to see the stars... (Tagore)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I enjoy hosting and occasionally travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have always hosted lots of people sometimes through CS other times just through friends or Erasmus students. People just end up in my place or I end up visiting theirs.... . meeting "locals" is the best way of visiting a place ever!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to think I like a bit of all kinds of music, although I never keep up to date with what is popular at the moment. Very commercial stuff is usually not my cup of tea anyway.

Sadly I often lack the time to read books for fun but when I do I enjoy Isabelle Allende and books that take me on a journey... I also enjoy poetry.

I mostly like European movies (LOVE Spanish ones) and I especially enjoy animation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This question is a bit too thirsty for sensation in my opinion. I believe in trying to make every day count and remembering to enjoy the little things (especially food!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn about different views and opinions as well as different places in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We all have our stories to tell and they are often best told over a nice meal!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Tanzania, United Kingdom, United States
