I live to love, love to laugh, and never say no to an adventure!

I grew up in a small belgian village lost in th woods, and now I live in Brussels not far from North Station.

I'm fond of beer, music, cultures, dance, singing, movies, kick boxing, psychology, ecology, politics, and improvised adventures.

I work at the university as researcher in economics and I develop indicators to measure happiness and sustainability of countries. My little hope is to make the world a better place to live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to go astray from the usual and reassuring paths, away from hotels, formal meetings, mass tourism, and leave my confort zone to try meet new people, ask them for help and give the favour back... I mean, I don't like classical travels like "museum then hostel" because it is so impersonal.

To me, CS is one of these real things, that allows you to go straight to the heart of travelling and social experience. This is why I'm on CS :)

Interests

I'm interested in pretty much everything. I am curious, I love learning, trying new things and sharing.

Drinking belgian beers with you will be a pleasure. Just hanging on, too.

I'm also a folk dance teacher and a french music singer (mostly under the shower :) ) I also like partying and all mainstream musics a lot.

I'm involved in several social movements, so if you wan't to discuss a bit about belgian or european news, I'm your guy!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a really eclectic ear for music, I listen to many different styles. From pop to classical, folk music, rock, old french songs, electro and so on.

For cinema, I like Tarentino's movies, Miyazaki's, Grand Budapest Hotel, Disneys, big blockbusters (star wars, Rogue One, GoT, Lord of Ring...), and my favorite serie ever is Avatar The Last Airbender.

And for books, I read so much for my job that I have no lust anymore to read :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking in the beautiful forests of my village.

Shaked Mikhail Gorbatchev's hand while I was drunk.

Cooked the best french fries ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to dance the waltz, jig and many other traditionnal dances or songs. Also the typical belgian food and alcohol, and our culture.

I learned hypnosis so I can show you a bit how it works

I'd like to learn spanish, first aid, and songs from your country :-)
