Hi I'm Paola, I'm a Belgian industrial product designer that likes to travel around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually travel alone so I love meeting new local people and hear interesting stories and get inside tips

Interests

I spend most of my money on travelling and food (love love love cooking, mostly vegan)! I'm a product design student so obviously I like design, from architecture to technical stuff. When I travel and study I love taking pictures, so if you're a photographer I would love to learn from you!
I also love nature, camping, hiking... are some of my passions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I absolutely love films (also work at a art house cinema in Bruges), some of my favourites are: singing in the rain, birdman, a single man, in the mood for love, moonrise kingdom, carol, west side story, catch me if you can, paprika, mai morire... All of these films also have amazing soundtracks which I love. Next to that I really like costume dramas and Spanish soaps :)
I’m also a big bookworm, on of the last good books I read was “a little life”.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in north Iceland during winter.
Hitchhiking 8000km in Canada during summer 2017
Hiking 500km across the Alps from Konstanz to the Garda lake in 2018

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking (vegetarian), photographing, designing and so on. I can help you with adobe programs, CAD and all kind of crafts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In my house you can use everything, there is a bus stop almost in front of the house so getting around is easy. I love cooking and would love to cook with you and learn from you national traditions.
I’ve a cat (Baptiste) who’s super nice but if you’re allergic that might not be very nice!
