About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover as much and as many people as I can, anywhere I go!

ABOUT ME

I'm a naive idealist, and I like to look on the bright side :)

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and tolerance for what is different. Live life to the fullest. Travel, travel, travel until my knees can't handle it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted travelers in Brussels during 5 years, then traveled around the world for more than 2 years, and now I'm back in Belgium but in between homes - so waiting to get settled before I host again :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted, and have been hosted by some absolutely amazing people!

Interests

I love languages, meeting new people, and of course going abroad (but I guess one goes with the other)! I love music, photography, hiking in remote areas, meaningful conversations... and those crazy nights spent in cafés with friends until sunrise!

Music, Movies, and Books

Ben Harper, Tracy Chapman, Jack Johnson, Muse, Paul Simon, The Police, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Feist, Sia, Ray Charles, Dave Brubeck, Queen, Bob Marley, James Brown, ... are some of my favorites. It all depends on my mood!

Now reading Nicolas Bouvier's "L'usage du monde" which is the best ever book to read while traveling!

Best movie ever: Little Miss Sunshine!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped on the Great Wall of China :) Also just traveled from Brussels, Belgium to Australia without taking a plane, traveling through Asia then delivering a catamaran from Bali to Perth!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be very happy to teach French to anyone who wants to learn it ! I can also teach some piano :)
