About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tick of interesting spots on my endless travel bucket list

ABOUT ME

Traveling when I have the time and means. If not on the road, living and working in Krakow, Poland. Born in 1987 in Belgium.

PHILOSOPHY

It's always easier to be kind to people than not to

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a couple of times and would like to host a bit more in the future.

Interests

Traveling, books, beer and contemporary art museums. Culture, history, languages, music, Eastern Europe and local dishes and brews. All of this to be discussed preferably in a bar late at night. Ow yeah and I like billiards of all kind (pool, snooker,...) and I dance a little salsa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched Swan Lake ballet in St-Petersburg. Attended a session in the House of Commons in London. Licked the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (well... almost at least).

Teach, Learn, Share

Very happy to share thoughts on music, books, languages, travel highlights,... I always like to try local beer and can advise some very good Belgian ones. I'm always up for a party and can teach you a few salsa steps. I also like discovering less-known spots in a city (bars, parks, shops,...)
