About Me

Brown haired girl, grown and brewed in Belgium.
I am a curious and open mind (trying to anyway). I think what makes traveling best and real is meeting people. Please show me your world, teach me your culture, History and tales! As a linguist, I would also love to pick up some words of your language (preferably swearwords) ;)

I like to think of myself as an honest person, truthful, sensitive, who loves to help when I can, laugh and taste life. Moments, people, landscapes, tiny things can move me deeply. Injustice really affects me too. I have sworn to try and become a better person and to make others happy as a life mission. I like to make strange moves, noises, dance moves or faces sometimes, just because I feel like it.

Up to now I haven't had a very stable and linear carreer. I have studied ancient dead languages at university, so as expected I worked in a goat farm, was a support teacher, worked in an NGO, in a confetti factory, and now I am taking classes to become a carpenter.
We never know what life will bring us so let's enjoy the ride! :)

I'll add that I like to try and make the world a little better at my level if I can. It's important to me to fight for the world I would want future generations to live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I really enjoy about couchsurfing is getting to know the country through the eyes and words of people from everywhere, who teach me how to respect and meet other cultures and just take pleasure in sharing. Also, I really enjoy returning the favor.
