About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Read some fine books, kiss wonderful people, write, dance, live.

ABOUT ME

In general I am a happy kid. I'm caring and I feel a lot! Therefore I'm in total need of warm and kind humans and a lot of hugs. So let's get physical.

I am chaotic and very messy.

I need adventures and crazy people (and sometimes some time on my own) to feel satisfied.

I love to see the world, love to travel: meet people with stories to tell, learn to see everything in perspective. I hate to say goodbye but I love to be reunited with people I haven't seen for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

*Being open and honest. Even if it's very embarrassing sometimes!! I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time! <3
*Body-positive.
*Accept only the rules and values which really make sense to you. Figure out whats right for you, and don't let anybody tell you different - but also make an effort to understand where others are coming from and evaluate their actions by your own standards, not according to some standardized norm. (Days of War, Nights of Love).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing. Connecting.

Just look at the references and you'll see how I participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many people from different continents and every time it was just WONDERFUL.
I love to host for many reasons: I love taking care of people, I love to listen to stories, I love to share (about a lot of stuff) and it just feels like holidays without going abroad.

I stayed with local people in Vietnam and Botswana (but not with couchsurfing) and I surfed a couch in Berlin. She became one of my closest friends. I love her.

Couchsurfing makes me smile!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

African choir singing with passion.

Mountains and ricefields in Vietnam.

Swimming in Halong Bay.

Seeing Lisbon with "we hate tourism tours ' http://www.wehatetourismtours.com/

...

Life is pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: food, stories, ideas, great times ;)
Teach: I can teach you to dance without limits or how to bike in a city like Ghent.
I can teach you 'braille' and a little bit sign-language (the alphabet and the most important thing in life: I have to poop, to pee, to sit, i love you ... )

I would love to learn how to make beautiful drawings, so if you can teach me that, I'll be very grateful. (Unfortunatly I think it's a mission impossible.)
