About Me

I'm a 19 years old filmstudent. When it's school I study in Ghent and also live there, and in the weekends I go to my hometown near Mechelen.
I like to laugh, live and travel. I enjoy meeting people from different countries/cultures. I'm not that long on couchsurfing because I still live with my parents and it makes it a bit more hectic to welcome a couchsurfer, but still: send a message and I'll see what I can do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is such a fun way to actually meet locals while you're traveling. I'm a listener. I love hearing stories from people. I get inspiration from it. Although, if you come and couchsurf on my couch, I will be happy to guide you through my city and tell you stories myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer I went with a friend to Budapest, Hungary and we met the craziest, loveliest people ever. We had such a connection within one evening. My friend is into music and I am into film. We met two Hungarian girls, the one was into music and the other into film. That night we also met two German girls, the one was into music and the other into film. The connection was weirdly wonderful.
I really like late evening talks about life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to show you around Mechelen or/and Ghent (and I also know my way around Brussels). Ghent is the city where I study and it's also a bit more exciting and lively to show than Mechelen.
Shopping, culture, art musea, night life,.... I'm a passionate person and if I invite a couchsurfer to my home I'm happy to give you 'inside' information about the city, show you around, and of course: give you the freedom and time you need.

What I Can Share with Hosts

'Inside' information about Ghent and Mechelen. I also love Brussels so I'd love to go there and help you out if you are planning going to Brussels. Belgium is a small country so we can easily go to every city you want to.
From Bruges to Antwerp. I've been there! :)
If you stay with me, I try to make it as comfortable as it can. I can show you around through the city, or if you're more like an explorer on your own, you can of course go in the city alone! :)

Austria, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United States
