About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the tastes, flavours, colors of different worlds

ABOUT ME

I've been traveling all my life. Since I was little my parents took me on all kinds of trips true Europe.
While growing older I got intrested in what's beyond my home country and started to travel to all the for me unknown places in Europe. Also the world beyond Europe attracts me and so I went to China and the United States. That way I lived 6 months in Firenze in Italy, lived in Hungary, travelled to Croatië, cityhopped to Amsterdam, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Budapest. And travelled to Latin-America. I've been enjoying and living for the last 8 years in Brussels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While traveling through South-America and living in Hungary, I surfed, hosted and met so many great Couchsurfers. Since my life is more hectic these days, it's been a while since I surfed or hosted people.

I surfed:
In La Paz with Vivi
In Rio de Janeiro with Daniel and Priscilla
In Rio das Ostras with Alice
In Mendoza with Leonel
In Montevideo with Sofia
In Buenos Aires with Julieta and Pablo
In Ushuaia with Leo
In El Bolson with Cathy, Shawn, Eva, Stella and Noa
In Palermo with Jose
In Suchitoto with Robert
In Merida with Andrea
In San Cristobal with Erika
In Oaxaca with Gaby and Tim

And had a lot of great experinces with so many other CS'ers on the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun go down on Isla del Sol, surrounded by dark and good company. Hike the table mountain. Enjoy a summers drink at my terrace.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the best way the learn a language, a culture, history, ... is to immerse yourself in another country. That way I learned Italian from square by living with Italian girls, learned the history of the Berlin wall by exploring Berlin, learned about the Chinese culture by staying there a couple of weeks, learned Spanish while travelling. I've studied sociology, but learned the most about society and the people by traveling.
