Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
live my twenties to the fullest, figure out what the next step will be.
ABOUT ME
I am a 24 years Belgian/French, who has been moving around quite a bit in the last 5 years for studying or gap year projects (Netherlands, Japan, Argentina, Tunisia, Singapore). I love travelling, but also enjoy coming back to Lille (France) where I grew up, to see my best friends and my family.
I am a kind, attentive, open-minded, independant and easy-going person. I often smile a lot, sometimes think too much, and always want to experience everything and go everywhere.
PHILOSOPHY
Experience as much as I want to. I sometimes think I would need several lives to fulfill my appetite...
Be caring and loving towards others, attentive and passionate.
Try to keep alive your curious, lively and creative inner child.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As I live with my parents at the moment, I cannot really be a host but only a couchsurfer. But I am sure I will be able to reciprocate in the near future !
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A few times with my ex- : Genova (Italy) and twice in Frankfurt (Germany)
The couchsurfing parties in Lille and Buenos Aires were amazing !
Interests
Like most of the people here, I am absolutely fond of travelling, discovering cities, nature, other cultures. That's probably I have chosen to study anthropology.
I enjoy walking, reading novels, spend time with my best friends but also meet new faces... I love dancing. Brings me both passion and peace!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It is quite broad, but moving to the Netherlands for my studies was probably the most amazing thing I have ever done... it was the beginning of a series of wonderful encounters, events, travels, it was like opening up all of a sudden a enourmous hidden surprise package !
Teach, Learn, Share
I can make people practice their English or French skills. Perhaps Spanish as well...
I am not a good cook, but I could probably bake some crêpes and other nice things.
I would love to learn to cook some new things, actually, from different countries; Learn Portuguese;
