About Me

I'm a bubbly young women with a passion for theater and travelling. If I'm not on stage, I will be hitchiking the European roads, preparing my next trip as a tour leader, dreaming of big adventurous projects or just enjoying the nature by walking or bicycling. My quote: if you can dream it, you can do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a rather adventurous and active person. Sustainable tourism, ‘slow travel’, contact with local people, culture and nature are written large for me. My favourite way of travelling is by hitchhiking.

Interests

I'm fond of acting, drama and travelling. Besides that I often work with children during acting lessons, youth camps and also in my job I worked with children. I'm a speech and language therapist, specialized in helping children with learning and reading disorders. I've made a job switch in 2015 and became product manager at Anders Reizen. I'm responsible for the development and organisation of hiking holidays in Europe and family holidays worldwide.

In the summertimes I'd like to discover the pop-up bars in Antwerp or take a (hitch) hike or geocaching (www.geocaching.com ).

I'm a volunteer tour guide for group travels and love to explore new countries.
