Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Do what I always wanted to do; living a free life in a free world!
ABOUT ME
I'm an adventurous person who wants to discover the world. I've been working within Doctors Without Borders for 2 years now. I've been in South-Sudan and Madagascar. Right now I'd like to realize some new dreams like becoming a midwife. I'll start the course in September 2016 and work as a halftime nurse in Ostend. After the course I'll leave and quit Belgium again to travel and work as a volunteer in some small organizations.
My big dream on the schedule is to hike the pilgrim's route to San Compostela. I'm doing it in mutilple small pieces. My very ultimate dream remains to discover the whole world, without any obligations in life.
Freedom!
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the small things in life which makes you happy at that moment!
The less you have, the better. You don't need more than basics!
Enjoy life now, don't regret anything you did... We all have our own pathway, everything happens for a reason.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like the idea of Couchsurfing. As I want to follow the Pilgrim's route to Santiago de Compostela one day I would like to use also couchsurfing. So if I can sleep with somebody else, it is no more then normal to have my apartment available as wel.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This is my first time within Couchsurfing, I learned about it by a friend!
If possible, I'd prefer about 5 days to 1 week notice for a request.
