About Me

Hi all,

I am a student from Belgium, did a bachelor and master at the University of Leuven, Belgium, until 2015, and then lived and studied for two years in Beijing, at Peking University. I hugely look forward to meet people that live in the places we visit and thus see a place for a completely different angle. My friends and I recently couchsurfed in Uganda and it was one of the best travel experiences I could imagine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know people living in the places we visit and get to see a different side of the city!
