Hello everyone ! I'm Kathleen, a 24 year old belgian girl. I just finished 5 years of studies in the communication field. During thoses years I learned how to properly use a camera, some graphic design softwares and I defentely developped as much as I could my teamworking skills ! I'm a super easy-going person with (i think) a twisted-but-still-socially-acceptable-sense-of-humor. I consider myself as an optimistic and sympathetic person.

I love to cook and to draw. I'm fond of all kind of artistic techniques: digital, manual, experimental...not in a professionnal way, but I have a lot of fun practising ! Art definitely takes a big part in my life and in my heart !

I have already traveled a lot in Asia; the first country I visited alone was India in 2014 just after my High School graduation. Since then, I always wanted to see more of this part of the world. I did an International Exchange in 2016 in Hong Kong which allowed me to travel around a lot ! My next stop will be South Korea for 3 month :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on this platform because I think that traveling and living with a lot of different people is the best way to discover our world ! I want to discover South Korea the best way I can :D

Interests

I love cooking, mostly sweet stuffs ! My main sport is climbing ! I just love wandering around and get lost in new places to dicover them ! I'm curious about all type of food. I'm not vegetarian but I try to eat as less meat as possible. I can can lost in a super meditative state in front of a beautiful landscape. I love comics, especially french and belgian ones.

Music, Movies, and Books

Several bands that I like:

Alt-J
Iggy pop...
I can also listen to the soundtrack of movies for hours (Django Unchained, The gardians of the Galaxy, every single Wes Anderson movie, LoTR, the broken circle breakdown (belgian movie!) Mr Nobody...)
Bouli Lanners is a very interesting Belgian film maker (his filmography is worth the look)
Series are one of my best source of inspiration for good music (Peaky Blinders, Shameless, One tree hill (yeahyeah), game of thrones...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During a boat trip in Indonesia and precisely in the Komodo National Park, I got the chance to see a million of flying foxes (bats) flying aways from their mangroves at sunset. That was one of the most mystical experience about nature that I have ever had.
