"Se souvenir des belles choses."

There are those little things in life that make you happy. To wake up with the sunshine and to read in bed before standing up, To share a mate with old or new friends, To listen to the sound of the rain, To share a smile with someone you don't know.

I'm a positive, open minded, curious, respectful person. I love to meet new people and to learn about them and their culture. Listening and talking is something I could do for hours. I enjoy long and deep conversations around a good meal, a glas of wine or along a walk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had my first CS experiences in 2012 during my travel through Argentina and I loved it. To have an insight in the local life, to meet people, to share experiences and facts about the culture and traditions was probably the best part of my travel. Since then I've couchsurfed in several other countries and have hosted few couchsurfers too.

Interests

As soon as I get some free time I try to spend it outside, hiking, meeting friends at the lakeside, cycling, travelling or taking pictures. I'm a nature lover and care for our environment.

I play unihockey at university and in a team where we take part in the championship.

Oh and I love food. Cooking is one of my favorite activities. I like to cook for and with friends. A good meal starts with a visit to the market (I'm found of local markets). Then I follow a recipe or give free rein to my inspiration, it depends on my mood. As much as I like cooking, I also like eating. I like to discover new products, new tastes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 I went on a trekking in the Sahara and spent one week in the desert, living in very simple conditions (no running water, no toilet, hot days & cold nights, ...). During this time I learned what's really important for me in my life. It's not about comfort and possession but much more about freedom and social contacts.
