Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To meet people trying to travel on a responsible way.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Liège, studied in Mons and then moved to Brussels. I experimented living in different cities in my own country before choosing for Brussels, a real international city. I'm quite open-minded, like meeting people even if I may be shy, laughing and speaking foreign languages. I'm interested in alternatives to the mainstream, especially on environmental and economical levels. I like my surrealist country.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe diem!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Since I'm sharing a flat with three roommates it's a bit difficult to host you at the moment, but I'm always available for a drink and a tour in Brussels. But you have to know my sense of direction is really bad ;)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I take part in activities organized through CouchSurfing, it's always a great way to meet interesting people and to speak other languages. I've been hosted several times (France, Spain, Chile, Israel, Palestine, the Netherlands, Germany) and have hosted at my house as well.
Interests
Music (concerts above all), languages, travels, South America, books, environment, sport, development cooperation and coloured socks :) I like discovering things, the area doesn't matter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Paragliding in France, really amazing!
To discover the "milpa" in Mexico with a 65-year old man.
Teach, Learn, Share
I really like to discover music from different countries, talk about tradition and culture. I can introduce you to some Belgian artists (painters, writers, musicians), bring you to concerts and teach you something in foreign languages. I also like to share cooking. In general I love discovering things.
