About Me

CURRENT MISSION

plan a magic trip to south america

ABOUT ME

I would say I'm easy going and open-minded but that would sound quite similar to many people on CS. As a child I wanted to be an archeologue. Of course I had quite an idealized view on the job. But I would say it describes me quiet well: willing to travel, discover, understand.

PHILOSOPHY

Put things into perspective

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently living in Brussels. I have one flatemate who's also on CS and we can host people. These months we gonna traveñ quite a lot but let's see !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few persons and also met couchsurfers just for chats and walking around.

Interests

Well what I like about studying journalism is that you get to meet people and visit places you would never have if you were studying something else. Sometimes you don't feel excited at first but you can have amazing surprises.

Le Dormeur du Val

C'est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière
Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons
D'argent; où le soleil, de la montagne fière,
Luit: c'est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.

Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue,
Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu,
Dort; il est étendu dans l'herbe, sous la nue,
Pâle dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut.

Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme
Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme:
Nature, berce-le chaudement: il a froid.

Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine;
Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine
Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit.

Arthur Rimbaud
octobre 1870
