IMPORTANT Note: Due to a very packed professional agenda in May, I don't accept any request in May... Sorry. Also, I receive lots of requests, so sorry if I can't accept them all or if I don't respond immediately - I do my best. Given that I don't plan much in advance, when the request is more than a week in advance, I will probably just tell you "maybe", because it will depend on how my schedule evolves...

CURRENT MISSION

Want to discover new cultures, new people, new countries; to go back to basics and true human values

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Paméla, I am 31 years old. I am open-minded, easy-going, eager to learn and discover new cultures and new people. I am a smiling and funny person.

I came back in 2013 from a one-year backpacking trip in South America. It was an amazing experience. When I came back, I discovered bike traveling and I just loved it. I traveled by bike only in Europe so far, but I really recommend it.

PHILOSOPHY

Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience. (Victoria Holt)

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. Plato

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised. George F. Will

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in Uccle, a neighborhood on the perirephery of Brussels, where I can host 1-2 person(s).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people in 2012 and I have surfed a bit.

兴趣

Well, a lot of things... Actually, there is not much that does not interest me. I am particularly interested in cultures and languages, reason why I love traveling.
I am a professional subtitler, this is one of my passions too. I play badminton and I run when I can.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: Into the wild, the Bucket list, the Bridges of Madison County, Grease, Dirty Dancing, He is just not that into you, Of mice and men, L'arnacoeur, Je vais bien ne t'en fais pas, La vita è bella, The next three days, Le prénom, The Artist, Intouchables, La môme, Django unchained,

Books: I love reading all sorts of books, novels, but also more "political" and historical books. I am a great fan of Amélie Nothomb (Belgian French-speaking author who has a great sense of humor and cynism). I love Mario Vargas Llosa as well. Frédéric Beigbeder, David Foenkinos, Michel Bussi, Maxime Chattam, etc.

Music: I love French music, I am bit old-fashioned on this point :) But I am open to all kinds of music as well.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Going to Amazon and touch a tarantula (I have the phobia of spiders)! I loved this very short trip and I hope to experience again soon.
Traveling for one year in South America.
Going to Antarctica!

教，学，和分享

I can speak English, Spanish and French and therefore maybe help with languages. I also knit :) and I love cooking (especially pastry-cooking): I love sharing cooking experience and recipes!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can offer you a couch or an inflatable mattrass in my living room. If I don't have too much work, I can also show you around Brussels, have you taste Belgian specialties. I can also cook for you. And we can have nice conversations too!

I believe that CS is an alternative and free way of traveling (with, as a side effect, a possibility to meet nice people) which means that I am NOT the kind of hosts who think that surfers "must" stay more than one night, or that they must stay with me and share. If you just need a free place to sleep, but don't want / have time to share long conversations because there are other things you want to do, that's fine too (as long as there is respect between us, e.g. on the time you come back, etc.).
