About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just graduated in political and cultural philosophy, and am planning on travelling mainly by train for a month in August and September, a trip on which I hope to meet some nice people through couchsurfing.

I was lucky to be able to go on an exchange twice during my studies, that's why I lived in Oslo for one year and in Puebla, Mexico for half a year! I enjoy beautiful surroundings, good energies and small gestures.

UPDATE
I am currently living in a little garden house 30 min outside of Brussels (by bus, not on foot), so if that is no problem for you I am willing to host you on the sofa in the living room. It's also kind of the music room so do contact me if you play any instrument and want to sleep next to a drum kit:) If you speak Norwegian or Spanish I would love to practice one of these beautiful languages with you.

Looking into options for traveling around Eastern Europe by train soon, and go to Georgia and Iran.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will love to share different ideas and interests, but can also enjoy being on my own. I love to recommend and/or exchange books to and with people, discover new music, and cook (vegetarian) food for others. Since I'm very fond of languages I can teach you some of the ones I speak!

I believe CS is an amazing platform offering travelers a different kind (more intense and beautiful) of memory of places they visit. We can get so much new and positive energy by staying at people's warm and welcoming home.
