About Me

I think you should ask my friends and family for that because I am not sure about this one :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got in touch with Couchsurfing a couple of years ago when a family member used this magnificent platform to travel around Scandinavia. Then too young, I dreamt of doing that too, one day! So here I am, trying it out! I must be very honest: my budget is not infinite yet my love for travelling and meeting new people everywhere is, therefore Couchsurfing is a gift from heaven for me! It's terrific to use technology (of which I must say I am sometimes a bit afraid) to learn more of people you would never meet by accident.

Also Normal People (Sally Rooney), The Curious incident of the dog in the nighttime, Eleanor & Park, Sing you Home (Jodi Picoult), Een Schitterend gebrek, Het Gouden Ei and Never Let Me Go. Catcher in the Rye is by far one of my favourite books, together with Persepolis and The Book Thief!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduating from secondary school last year
Immersion trip around the EU-borders to talk to and see people on the run ( it's hard to describe in one or two sentences, do ask more about it when interested :) )

Teach, Learn, Share

I adore languages so a goal of mine is to learn a lot of them and therefore to be able to communicate (or at least try to ;) ) with more people. I can share my home with you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for languages, music and films! Books too, but I'm a slow reader :D
