I just downloaded the app again, excited to be back! I will update my information soon, and am now located in Ghent, Belgium

Artist/ Artstudent in Antwerp :)
I will probably graduate in two years and try to travel for a year or so.
Until then I would like to travel when I can, meet many people and learn things I'm not learning in school :)
I have a tandem bike wich is an amazing way to travel!
And I also just bought a cargo bike to get around locally in Antwerp and transport my artworks, materials, beers and even my friends because it can fit one whole person :)

In Antwerp I used to live in a communal artist house/ atelier space with 5 other people on one floor and 15 amazing people in total. It used to be a factory-like building and the 'landlord' build everything in here himself together with other people to make it atelier spaces for artists to live together, work together, party together and really be a constantly changing community.

Since I have moved to Ghent to continue my Master studies, I have found an amazing "property management" buiding (aka. anti-squat) That I want to share with friends, travellers and artists in a similar way as the place I lived in Antwerp!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I get so much energy and joy from meeting new people, sharing artistic views and getting new insights into things I know about or things I don't know about yet.
Even when I try to do my own research on things, you can always learn so much more just from talking to other people :)
When I am able, I would like to host people and until then it would be awesome to meet some people from couchsurfing to get to know the community better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and my best friend Marie have just bought a caravan and are starting the renovations so one day we might be able to live in it for some time and host travelers during the warmer months :)

I have traveled through Belgium, a part of France and the Eifel in Germany on a tandem (her name is Miranda) in 2021 camping with the hammock and it was so amazing! These travels weren't about getting to a destination and we hadn't made any plans at all. Just folowing our map and compas from village to village. On our way we met few but incredibly interesting people who taught us new ways to think about our lives and all the ways we can live them.
