About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing person. Always looking for meeting new people and experiences. Based in lovely Ghent, Belgium, I laugh as much as I can, spend lots of time with friends but always searching for new challenges to explore my horizon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Working in a hostel, I had the chance to guide many people around in my hometown, Ghent. Proud as I am to live in this city, I would enjoy to do the same with couchsurfers...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by a very nice Nepali family for the very first time in Kathmandu, Nepal. This was an amazing experience and I am looking forward to host people in my hometown as well.
In the mean time, I had wonderful surfing experiences in Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Africa, US...

Interests

Skiing, and travelling. In winter I used to be a ski instructor in the Austrian alps, in summertime I travel as much as I can. I worked in a youth hostel in Brussels, the capital of Belgium but now I am preparing for a 5 months trip to Nepal, India and Sri Lanka.
