About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meeting people from abroad and traveling as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm kind of an outgoing person, very passionated and sometimes a bit crazy. I love meeting people from abroad, to share culture and stuff, talking, eating, enjoying life.
I love Spain and the temperament of the Spanish, something we have in commun ;) I love travelling and I try to do it as much as possible! I need the sun to function (so I'm not in the right place in Belgium ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Try not to plan your life in all its details. The greatest moments are those that come unexpected. Let it happen to you and don't forget to enjoy it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted in Ancona, Italy; Montpellier, France; Zurich, Switzerland; Ljubljana, Slovenia; Madrid, Spain, Bergamo, Italy and in Japan. All of them were great experiences!

Interests

My passion is movies. It is wonderful to lose yourself in the story, the images, the music... Besides that I love reading, also to lose myself in the story. I like travelling a lot. It is such a great feeling when a beautiful landscape takes your breath away... I love talking, especially in other languages! ;-)
