ABOUT ME

Most of all things I love Cinematek in Brussels, the filmmuseum. Check the website, it's just fantastic! I have lived and studied four years in Brussels and it's a great place.

Currently, I live in China, which is lovely.

PHILOSOPHY

"I think right now is the moment. This is the beginning. We don't know what it is the moment of, and maybe something much crazier will happen. (...) We had better not enjoy the moment, but create the moment." Ai Weiwei

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Brussels I met a lot of couchsurfers. Lovely.

In Tainan, a city in Taiwan, and in Nanjing, a city in China, I met some great great people from the couchsurf community.

Interests

Good Movies (Yesterday I've seen this rather crazy Belgian movie "Kill Me Please".

Good books (The Woman in the Dunes, for example, is a good book)

Good bookstores ("Avant Garde" in Nanjing, for example, is a good bookstore)

Strolls in cities (Nanjing, for example, is a great city to stroll in)

Cities (Beijing, Paris, Berlin, for example, are great cities)

Chinese people singing in the streets, just because they like

Theatre (Brussels is fantastic for modern theatre and dance)
