About Me

CURRENT MISSION

backpack through Thailand on my own

ABOUT ME

I’m a 23 year old who loves travelling. I currently live in Antwerp with my amazing boyfriend. I work in an advertising agency so 9 to 5 is not really in my dictionary. I’m still rather new to the limited number of vacation-days, but I try to travel as much as possible. When I’m not working nor traveling I’m spending all my time and money on concerts, movies and planning new travels .

My favorite color is green, I’m afraid of birds, I quit smoking, a poppy is my favorite flower and I love love receiving postcards. If you still want to know more, just ask!

Update: Next up is my month-long solo backpacking trip to Thailand. Wish me luck!

PHILOSOPHY

If music be the food of love, play on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My own couch is currently unavailable, but I'm always up for a coffee or a beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing in Italy to learn the language and to meet new people. Boy was I in for a treat. Das Uberhouse are 5 amazing guys with music in their hearts. Because of them my trust in couchsurfing was set and my enthusiasm went sky high.

My own couch is still a couch-virgo but I'm pretty much always up for coffee or a drink. A lovely way of meeting other couchsurfers when I lack the time of couching them myself.

Interests

I love spending time with my friends. Have a drink in a café or invite people for dinner, although I must add that I'm a terrible cook, I love to eat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably my parachute jump. But as I'm filling in this answer I realise my list is way too short. Time to change that.
