ABOUT ME
I love travelling to experience, possibly off the beaten track. Keen photographer too.
I am a very social person, I have a keen interest in international affairs, development, other cultures and psychology. I really like my job and when I am not working, I need to experience new cultures, learn, meet. Life is short and I realise we should not waste any single bite of it.
For the rest, I run, try to practise yoga twice a week, read, go to concerts, movies...
PHILOSOPHY
Do what you love and do it often.
If you don t like something, CHANGE it.
If you don t like your job, QUIT.
If you don t have enough time, stop doing stuff you don't like.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; She will be waiting for you when you start doing things you LOVE.
Stop over analyzing, life is SIMPLE.
When you eat, appreciate EVERY last bite.
Open your mind to NEW things and NEW people.
TRAVEL often; getting LOST will help to FIND yourself.
Some opportunities only come once, SEIZE them.
Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start CREATING.
Life is short.
Live your DREAM and share your passion.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Even if I am a member since long time ago, I finally have a good couch to host people. As I am not living in remote places anymore (Darfur, Burkina Faso), welcome to Brussels!
How about you will cook your favorite home flavoured dish and I will cook mine in return, it is not a great deal? :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Started to host in 2012. I hosted ten couch surfers and helped another one finding her way and discovering Brussels for a couple of days. They seemed to enjoy BXL and some of them also meet a bunch of my friends.
I was hosted in India, Austria and Germany and so far it was always very rewarding.

Experience new cultures, running, yoga, nature, being outdoor. Recently I discovered trekking and I love it! Plus photography, to capture experiences.
