About Me

Hello folks! I always find it hard to describe myself. I'd say I'm curious, a travel enthusiast (like every couchsurfer right?), a foodie, concerned by the animal rights, not 100% vegan yet..but getting there, a maps lover, and an easy laughter.

Living just next to Brussels with my boyfriend in our house. The closest station is actually La Hulpe, from which trains will take you to Brussels very easily/fast (see also "my home" description).

To my opinion there are very few experiences to be considered as bad, but mostly just experiences. It's all about your state of mind. I guess that makes me an optimistic too!

CS EXPERIENCE

Recently surfed at Brian and Mike's place in London, which has been a terrific first CS experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply to make some discoveries, and help other people to make some as well.

Let's meet, share, taste, and remember all of it for long!

Interests

The "about me" section already sums it up pretty well:) A few additionnal interest points though: I've bee learning cello for 3 years, I love Wes Anderson's movies (!), I'd like to be a better photographer, and I have a thing for complete randomness.

Music, Movies, and Books

The 5 last books I've read/being read:
- Into thin air (Jon Krakauer)
- A brief history of time (Stephen Hawking)
- The covenant (James A. Michener)
- Tales of the city (Armistead Maupin)
- Millenium 3 (Stieg Larsson)

My two favorite songs are: Strawberry fields (The beatles) and Strawberry swing (Coldplay). Believe it or not, the strawberry obsession is unintentional!

About movies, I've recently seen and loved: Relatos savajes, Cloudburst, The grand budapest hotel, Fargo, Les amours imaginaires, and so many others but we'll talk about it when we'll see each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used the Sketch's bathroom in London (they're amazing indeed).
Climbed mount Fuji and mount Kota Kinabalu.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn expressions in foreign languages.
I really like to cook when I have enough time for it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tour or visit tips about Brussels/Belgium, advices and decriptions of beers/chocolates, some recipes, travel stories, my way of living... and many other things I am forgetting now I guess!

Countries I’ve Visited

France, India, Ireland, Japan, Lesotho, Malaysia, Morocco, Namibia, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia

Countries I’ve Lived In
