About Me

I finished my Journalism studies and now I'm traveling through Europe with a friend of mine, because we want to explore the world!

I like adventure. I am a thinker but I am also spontaneous.

There's much to say about my philosophy's but I won't put it here, I rather talk about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience a lot, meet people and see how they live their life. That's quite important to me, because I want to be an open person who doesn't judge about how others live their lives. And that's one of the best things of traveling!

I already couchsurfed a lot, in Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.

Interests

I like reading, movies, journalism, culture. I like the forest and hiking. I like the sun, but also the sound of rain. I'm happy when I travel, drink coffee, have a good conversation. The three at the same time is the best:)
