Coucou! I'm Mary from Nidrum, a smal town in Belgium with a lot of nature. I just graduated in Graphic Design at the College of Arts Saint-Luc Liège where I have studied design for three years. My native language is German because Belgium do have a little Germanspeaking region which has around 76000 inhabitants. Yes we do exist out there !! ;) I'm an open person who likes to discover new things, meet interesting people and have some good food together. I'm not complicated to handle, not picky, a bit dreamy sometimes and usually always present with a smile. I like listening to people's stories, yep I'm a good listener. I play the guitar and enjoy singing to it, music has always been present in my life. My dad is an organic farmer and musician, so I grew up on a farm where I helped and get along well with the animals. :) Beeing in the nature is a wonderful thing and enjoying some silence next to the busy world. I hope I will never stop having the impulse to travel new places and see what the world has to offer in nature, landscapes, cities, nightlife, food, culture, music ... and great people ! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great possibility to get to know places and people from another point of view than beeing in a hotel where you do not have this true contact with a real person and culture. People help each other and get to know each other & discover new things, isn't it exciting?
