CURRENT MISSION

Spending all my money on travelling

ABOUT ME

I'm an optimistic, open-minded person who loves travelling, discovering different cultures and meeting people. I'm studying French and Spanish at the University of Ghent. I lived five months in Spain (Sevilla) and I loved it .. Sometimes we just need to leave our hometown for a while to get some new experiences!
I would really like to go to South-America to do some voluntary work. It would be great if anyone had some advice for me!

PHILOSOPHY

People were created to be loved,
Things were created to be used.
The reason the world is in chaos
is because things are being loved
and people are being used.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is the most interesting (and cheapest) way of travelling. A friend of mine had some great experiences with couchsurfing and I couldn't wait to participate too. It's just amazing how fast you get to know people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some couchsurfers in my place in Ghent. I liked it a lot, it's such a nice way to meet new people and get to know other cultures! Mostly everyone has a lot of stories to tell and there's nothing I love more than talking about travelling ;)
+ To my Spanish couchsurfers: Thanks for the delicious tortillas you made!!!

Interests

I'm very interested in doing voluntary work. I worked in India and Morocco and bouth experiences have made me so much richer. There I just realised that 'Some people are so poor that all they have is money ... '

I'm currently trying to play the guitar, but I still have to learn a lot! I'm interested in photography and being creative; sometimes I paint or draw.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In India, I helped with a group of volunteers with the building of a hospital for TB patients. It was a great experience and I am still dreaming about it every day. It's so amazing to see who very poor people can be happy with the small things they have.
Doing voluntary work really makes you a happier person .. you realise that you have to enjoy every single moment of your life and it's just incredible to see how fast you can make other people smile ;)
