CURRENT MISSION

Traveling and cultural exchanges

ABOUT ME

I'm an English and German teacher with a big thirst for learning. I have a wide range of interests! Despite encyclopedias look quite fascinating, I think you can get much more knowledge by travelling and meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY

travel, teach, learn... travel, teach, learn...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read many English and German books during my university years, especially classics. I particularly enjoy the historical genre and thrillers.

I've watched many different kinds of movies. I'm not really into science fiction and fantasy (although some movies have surprised me !). As for my tastes in literature, I like historical movies, but also dramas, biographies, and some comedies.

Music: almost any kind of music... depending on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a passport stamp from the Democratic Republic of German
I did a bungee jumping of 75 meters in France
I went on the rise which comes down in France (la Curiosite de Lauriole)
I left a slip of paper in the cracks of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem
I climbed the "Montagne de Bueren" in Liege in order to impress my boyfriend
I experienced an amazing road trip across the States with my cousin (to summarize: Chicago, Milwaukee, Niagara Falls Canada, Pittsburgh, Saint Louis, Colorado Springs, Moab, Cedar City, Grand Canyon Village, Las Vegas, Los Angeles)
I drove through an Amish county and got the chance to talk to the people
Canyoning in Slovenia (unexpectedly since we asked for canoeing...)
Listening to bats sleeping in a hidden cave with CS host Nejc in Slovenia
I visited the biggest Fish Market in the world in Japan

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope I will learn a lot about other cultures. I also wish to practice my German and English :-)
I'm a foodie, willing to taste your local specialties (although I can't stand spicy food...).

I can show you around and make you taste the best chocolate, beers and fries in the world ! As my boyfriend comes from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium (near Ostende/Bruges), we can talk about both the North and the South of the country.
