Hi I'm Oona Platel. I live in Ghent, in Belgium.
I decided to go on couch surfing because I wanted to see the world in another perspective. I think you can only really visit a country when you are surrounded by locals and I think this is the best website for finding locals who have the same interests.
The things that I love: spending time with my friends, dogs (golden retrievers), fairy lights, the sun, going out, have a laughter attack, optimistic people, random decisions..
Spare time: the youth movement, editor of a small magazine from my youth movement, seeing my friends, dancing
Slogan: "It's better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and I want to share my experience that I have from my town with other people. I want to see the world, in another perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

I look like a girl who listens to pop and soft music but I'm not. I love hiphop! A$ap Rocky, Kendrick Llamar, Frank Ocean, Drake. I also love alternative R&B: Willow Smith, Jorja Smith.. You should really check it out!
I'm in love with the movies The Hungergames and Her. I watched Gossip Girl, Black Mirror, Nasty Gal, Santa Clarit Diet, The Big Bang Theory..
I'm not a-book-person but when I have time, I will read one!
