HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Through friends

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few experiences with friends on holiday (France, Canada). I have hosted several couchsurfers with my flatmates in Belgium and in my apartment in East Lansing.

Interessi

I like to do outdoor sports : biking, hiking, sailing, paragliding, snowboarding, ...
I discovered ultimate frisbee in Scotland and I've been playing in a team for a few years years now.

I'm doing research in biochemistry but I'm interested in all kind of sciences. I very concerned about the future of humanity and about what we could do to give a brighter future to the next generations.

I don't have a car and I avoid using one if it is not needed. You may see me going around on my bike all year round.
