CURRENT MISSION

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

ABOUT ME

My name is Kim, I was born in Brussels and I just turned 23. I'm currently writing my thesis about whether or not alternative energy sources are efficient, and I'm doing to do this by a life cycle analysis. Futhermore I'm doing an internship as a manager consultant in safety. I'm studying environmental, health and safety management, and this is my last year before I get my master degree. Last year I studied abroad in Budapest, Hungary at Corvinus University which was one of the best experiences ever. My hometown is Brussels, Belgium.
My friends would say that I'm a nice person who's always up for a laugh and a drink. I'm very social, sporty and like to hang out with my friends. My dream and goal is to discover the world. I can be persuasive and impulsive which makes every upcoming day unpredictable.

PHILOSOPHY

The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just signed up, so I'm looking forward to my first CouchSurfing experience!

Interests

I'm interested in everything that has to do with art, architecture and science. I know that these are wide subjects but my fingers will be in pain if I specify. My hobbies are kite-surfing, snowboarding, swimming, squash, and especially drawing/painting. I have a website called www.artanddesign-kc.com, if you'd like to check out my work. Overall, I spend my time laughing and enjoying.
