Hey!

I'm Maxime - and although I first became a member of couchsurfing in 2015, I am only now starting to try to actually use it!

I love meeting people and coming from a family of travelers it's all I've done my whole life. I grew up in both the Netherlands and Belgium, and my tour agents parents have been dragging me all over the world since before I had even celebrated my first birthday. And right after my 18th, I discovered the beauty of traveling by yourself and meeting even more people. I fell in love with Latin-America on that very first trip and over the last few years I have spent way more time living there than in Europe. Currently I am living in Cajamarca, in Northern Peru, where I work for an NGO that focuses on human and environmental rights.

So if you are in Cajamarca, Perú, let me know! Would absolutely love to meet more of you beautiful traveling souls!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because you haven't really visited a place if you haven't spent time with someone who actually lives there.

兴趣

As you'd probably guess, I love traveling. I like to travel long and slowly. Love hitchhiking, love adventures. I love nature, and also try to live consciously and think about the environment and our planet and its people. I love discovering new places, hiking, camping. I love lakes, swimming, mountains. Mountains! Mostly mountains. No matter how difficult the altitude it makes to live in the mountains.

I love laughing, having a drink with friends, a good party, festivals. Being surrounded by likeminded people that make me happy.

I'm also a writer - I blog, I write poems, stories, and hopefully one day I find the time (and mostly the patience) to finish my book.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love all kinds of music. I love reading and can appreciate a good movie, but I am the worst person to watch a movie with. I either talk too much or I fall asleep.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I have tons of stories to share since I am the kind of person that always ends up in the weirdest of situations. And I would love to hear your stories! I can also cook for you but am definitely not a chef so don't expect too much (also don't ask for anything 'typical Belgian' cause you'll end up with just fries). But I am great at buying beers for you (and by you I mean us)!
