About Me

I guess I'm a friendly and caring person. I enjoy conversation and joking very much, yet sometimes I also like to be on my own. I love travelling, not simply for the holiday-feeling of it, but for how it can challenge me to overcome my own fears and for how it can broaden my mind, as I get to know other ways of living, behaving, talking,...
I feel this is what Couchsurfing is all about, and that's why I'm very excited about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've already had a couple of great CS-experiences in Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam, so now I would like to return the favor and open up my appartment in Brussels for any couchsurfer that might be interested in visiting this truly underrated city.
