About Me

I was born in a small city (Liège), in a small country (Belgium)... and I love them both ! Nevertheless, I like nothing more than discovering new things, so travelling is a big part of my life. I enjoy meeting new people, learning from them, and getting closer to nature. I love having serious talks, but also going out, walking in a city by night, getting lost in the wild, doing some sightseeing and tasting foreign food.

PHILOSOPHY

That could be "show must go on", but in an optimistic way. In the sense that whatever a problem can be, things happen for a reason and we can always learn from them. In the sense that it is always possible to see the good in life, and to continue expecting amazing things out of it. In the sense too that, however awful things happen every day, it is still beter to fight to improve them than getting fatalist and just resign.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I support very much the idea, and I like both parts of it: helping others and getting to meet local people.

Interests

So many things... and mostly cinema, litterature, environment, music and travelling. In general, I'm very much into culture, art, nature and people.
