Hi i am Els, i am 42, living in belgian with my wife and daughter (13). I am facinated about the concept of couchsurfing, and exciting to finally really doing it😀.

I like to create and discover things. I like working in the garden, baking pies, making crafts, being outside, traveling, listen to people's stories and making things pretty.
I love books, trees, coziness and campfires.
I'm facinated by (healthy) food and the effect of food on our being.

I want to live in harmony with mother nature and all living beings. Sustainability, respect, compassion, acceptation and encountering are my intentions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
