About Me

I'm that Belgian guy, living for 15 years in Switzerland. Right now, i'm studying Architecture at the university of Lausanne where I rent a small apartment.
I recently begun traveling a lot, alone, with my friends or with humanitarian organizations in order to discover all the other lifestyle that I'm not confronted to in my quite life in Switzerland. As other say: "leave your confort zone"
So i've been travelling all this year in Africa, south America, US ans Asia, backpacker style, which I found nowadays a bit boring :I want to travel local!

So the next project that I have with my girlfriend would be to do a world trip by bike for 365 days! Let's see how it will turn out to be...

I will be pleased to show you around but please understand that as my place is quite small, I can only take one night arrangement for at most 2 people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using CS during one of my trip in Asia. Again, backpacking and staying in guesthouses means that you always meet the same people, who are actually doing the same trip, living the same experiences and telling the same stories as you.

Then, I decided to try CS to meet local people, hearing their own experiences and learning bout their lifestyle.. which was a so much richer experience! I kept using it during a two month trip, sleeping in a monastery, meeting incredible people and learning a lot about my trip.

That's why I want to share the same experience with people that would eventually come to Switzerland and offer them a bed in my tiny apartment.
