Overview
About Me
Not currently hosting.
Belgian student, I came to Sweden to study folk violin music for one semester in 2014... and forgot to leave! After 7 years in Sweden I moved to Finland where I am studying now.
I like traveling and backpacking, and am really interested in meeting new people, sharing ideas and discovering other ways of living.
I am open-minded, like both talking and being silent, and to help people; I hope to see trust take a bigger place in this world.
Good to know: I am vegan.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When travelling alone, I realized how a small help or act of kindness can make a huge difference when you are on the road. I like this idea of another way of travelling and meeting people to share experiences with.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : a bit of everything, a fair share of folk music, some movie scores and lots of stuff I don't really know how to classify. A few names: Jacob Collier, Les Cowboys Fringants, John Butler Trio, TOOL, Didier Laloy...
Books : His Dark Materials, HPMOR, Dracula
Those lists are far from complete, and I'm always happy to get suggestions!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Studying in a Swedish-speaking school, then a Finnish-speaking one, without knowing the language.
Camping in a park in central Stockholm.
Teach, Learn, Share
Dance (folk dance, contact improvisation, contemporary dance), music jam (I play the violin).
I can teach you some French and/or Swedish. I love languages, so if you feel like teaching me something about yours, you're very welcome!
