CURRENT MISSION

I've been living in different parts of the world and currently returned to my homebase in Belgium. Planning to set up a pied-a-terre here, so i can start venturing out again into the world.

ABOUT ME

I wrote a book called 'Get Real, a practical guide on how to live it up!' and living it up has been my way of life all through my 30's, and who knows what's still to come.

PHILOSOPHY

Take your life in your own hands and live it like you want it, with respect for the people and the world around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with couchsurfing was in Singapore, which turned out to be a great introduction to this way of traveling. We went cycling and my host took me to some great street food eateries which only got me more excited about Asian street food! I've also been coachsurfing whilst on a 5 months trip in South-America, which resulted in an amazing friendship which still lasts until today.

Interests

I'm Belgian, so eating and drinking is high on my to do list when exploring local cultures. I like chillin in the park and being outside. I love being active when on holiday, so always up for a good surf (small waves please) and an intens yoga session, preferably in that sequence :-)

Love meeting new people with a passion in life to hear their stories.

Music, Movies, and Books
