CURRENT MISSION

Bring more peace to the world, write more music and learn more languages :) If you see that I can speak your mother tongue, please write your requests in that language.

ABOUT ME

My greatest hobby is music,...listening and playing as well as composing. I like almost all sorts of it: classical (Rachmaninov, Mahler,...), rock (Nirvana, Guano Apes, Radiohead), folk, jazz... Further on I love being outside in nature, seeing new places and learning new languages, and of course having fun with my friends. In 2021 I joined Brussels largest musical theatre company, got to play principal roles and now I can´t imagine my life without it. I also like reading, badminton, paleontology and learning languages. Through Couchsurfing I hope to make friends from all around the globe and travel every continent.
As a teacher, I have less free time than you might expect and my schedule changes a lot from one month to another. So I can't always do that much hosting. Fortunately there`s still summer.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please check the section about My Home. There are things you need to know. Especially about my cat :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people and learning new things about other cultures and languages. I love how open-minded the CS community is, and how easy it is to make friends.

Playing at the European Games with the national Belgian quidditch team.
