Overview
About Me
Hi !
Working in hospitality I enjoy meeting new and interesting people. I work in a coffee roastery and bar in the centre of Brussels and live in a neighbouring municipality (Saint-Gilles). Since last year I'm going back to school studying Architecture to satisfy my appetite for learning.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meeting new people is essentially what I do for a living and I love doing it in my spare time! So why not show visitors around in my hometown?
Interests
Studying photography a few years ago I stopped to start working full-time in the coffee roastery-bar I was working at back then. After 3 years of that I realized I wanted to go back to school and diverted to architecture/urbanism which has a more social aspect and can achieve greater impact than either coffee or photography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had been giving the tip to visit Montserrat, without prior Googling I took the train up there in my button-iip shirt without any food or water and ended up hiking to one of the high points which took a total of 5 hours. Returned to Barcelona paler than a piece of paper.
