About Me

I was born in Brussels and lived most of my life in its suburbs. I studied agricultural sciences in Louvain-la-neuve, a young and dynamic city that gave me the opportunity to get involved in social and intercultural projects with foreign students.
I think that's why I got the taste for meeting new people and travelling. I went on Erasmus in Hungary and studied one more year of economics in Flanders (Leuven) to get to know the other main cultural group in my home country.
Afterwards, I had the chance to work 2 years in Morocco for the Belgian Development Agency in agricultural projects in Ouarazazate, Oujda and Rabat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and remain constantly "challenged" with other peoples views and opinions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, especially discovering new things. I must admit I get never bored with good old pop rock music like radiohead "OK computer" ;)
Movies: i loved "The Green line" and "Shawshank redemption" but also geek-type movies like Star trek ;). I actually want to take more time to watch documentaries (like Michael Moore's)
Books: John Grisham, Barjavel and much more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking from Brussels to Southern France alone: the best way to meet new people !
