Teacher, love travelling, foodie, happy person
At 50 I separated after 30 years relationship. I realized I was free!! And so I quit my job to do what I love most in life : travel, discover beautiful people and things, enjoy spectacular nature, culture and art. I like people. Love to just watch them, love talking to them, sharing experiences and food. I am a hitchhiker since I was 18 and I have met only wonderful people. I love nature. It calms me, I find peace in myself when I am in nature. I ve been scuba diving for 10 years but had to stop because of health problems. But I have enjoyed the underwater world for 100%.
I love arts. Mostly contemporary and architecture moves my heartbeat.
I love reading, movies, music.
I speak 7 languages but if I don’t speak yours we will understand each other anyway coz it’s not about words I think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people, living a real life that is not around capitalism

Interests

Photography but not skilled. Arts to watch and enjoy. Colors in the sky. Warmth (between friends, people, but also as in warm weather). Music. Hiking and cycling 🚴🏼‍♀️. I prefer being outside to enclosed inside.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking 2 years off for travels on my own. And I already exceeded and will continue as long as it takes me. 5 years? 10 years? The rest of my life? Who knows... 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

I like eating. So I love cooking. Like to learn new ways of cooking and I like to share the Flemish way of cooking. I like learning new things that are of use in my life. Don’t teach me about algebra;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My smile 😊
I can be shy, I can be cheerful. Mostly I am open minded. Although I have a critical mind, I don’t really judge others. Everyone does what he/she has to do.
