Hello!
My name is Noa, and I live in Belgium near Ghent.
My main goal in life is to travel the world, learn new languages and meet new people all over the world. I believe I'm very open-minded, I'm against any kind of discrimination.
I'm always in for a new adventure or experience, because life's too short to not live it to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to travel, and couchsurfing offers a very original way to do this. I also like to meet new people and get to see the city, with tips from locals :)
I believe Couchsurfing can really open someone's eyes and help to discover new places.
I want to broaden my horizon and I don't want to miss anything that life has to offer.

Interests

I'm interested in reading a good book, poetry or listening to good music.
I also really like to cook, mostly dishes from all around the world.
Art is also one of my main interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I travelled to Viet Nam, we hiked through the mountains of SaPa for some days with a local guide.
He introduced us to the people who live in the little villages in the mountains and we were able to stay for the night in one of their houses. These two or three days really opened my eyes, because even though these people had so little money, they were really hospitable and they welcomed us with open arms. Their lives are very hard, but they still live a very happy live with what they have, and I really believe we could learn from them!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I've mentioned before, I love to cook, and I would love to learn how to make new dishes from all over the world, let's exchange recipes!
I also want to learn new languages and cultures. I really believe we should gather as much experiences and impressions as we possibly can during our lives, because that's what makes life worth living, in my honest opinion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to show you my country. I live near Ghent so I can show you all the touristic hotspots, the hidden places, the nicest bars and the things that make Ghent the city what it is today! I love to share my experiences with others and I really hope I can welcome you in my city soon :)

Don't hesitate to message me if you need a local guide to show you around during your stay in Ghent, I would be happy to do this for you!
