About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm working with Teach for Belgium and always growing up thanks to that experience. Enjoying everyday life which is far from beeing a routine!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Belgian girl who loves meeting dynamic people from different cultures and share experiences. I think that sport is one of the best way to meet people, as it is in challenging or at least relaxed situations that you show who you really are.

PHILOSOPHY

"Wonder and trust rather than doubt is the source of happiness."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I created my account when I was doing an Erasmus exchange to Helsinki, Finland, and wanted to see the area. I did my Erasmus to meet people, discover new cultures and maybe start some new friendships.

I think that couchsurfing can help me continue this experience on the long term.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometimes when I'm travelling to other countries. I love it because it's a lot more authentic than meeting just other tourists, although this helps too. I like to understand the view people have on their own country and how they live daily.

Interests

Sports: hiking, running, swimming, cycling, climbing, orientation, skiing and others.
Hobbies: partner dances, scouting, nature, playing board games, cooking and more!

Discovering new cultures, ask the local people about typical places... I never say no to a new adventure!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading but I don't take enough time for it. I recently red books on education, on society transition and self-leadership.

Movies: it's always a nice way to relax, but never alone! And as I prefer talking with people, I don't watch a lot of movies although I like it ;-)

Music: pop-rock, songs with interesting lyrics, songs we can dance on. I'm always open to discover new sounds!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up on a beach, dazzled by the sunrise, and go swimming in the see...

Walking on the ridge of the mountains, at sunrise, and feeling so small.

Run in the Finnish forest with someone you met only recently, push your limits and feel so alive!

Teach, Learn, Share
