Far and foremost, I aim for 'joie de vivre' in my everyday life. 'joie de vivre' is a French word expressing to be happy to be alive. To me this means enjoying food and beer/wine, reading, small talk and big talk, walking, shopping, but also working hard and getting lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When couchsurfing I want to learn new languages and exchange knowledge and experiences. Cities get a more personal dimension when you discover them through the eyes of a local.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am looking to learn more about new economical ideas (such as the basis income and social corporate responsibility) and new technologies. Also, I have a basis knowledge of Italian and Spanish and would like to improve both.
I have been a Dutch teacher for 2 years, but I can also teach you French grammar. Besides, I can show you how to make friendship bracelets or how to draw humans.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazing cooking skills (confirmed by semi-experts), always up for a dance, heated political discussions, and a personal recommendation on which Belgian beer the host would love.
