I am a young adult living in London, UK and currently working as a coastal/maritime engineer.

I was born in a belgian family that kept on moving to different countries which left me with a taste for travel and meeting new people. I grew up in the Middle East as a child.

I am open minded and love exchanging new ideas. I value reciprocity and kindness the most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine recommended me this wonderful community and I decided to join to meet locals for my first trip in Iran

Interests

Next to my professional interest for engineering. I am passionate about history and philosophy. I also love oil painting (Turner is one of my favourite painter) and pencil drawing/graphic novel.

Travelling is my favourite hobby and I usually alternate between cultural trips in cities and hitchhiking holidays in the nature (Scotland being my favourite rainy destination).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love discovering new things, getting new ideas and perspective by discussing with people.
