About Me

CURRENT MISSION

never stop traveling

ABOUT ME

I love

staying in bed on sundays, reading about philosophy and act like understand everything, watching old movies, reading about climate change, dancing in my underwear, wandering, sleeping, little chocolate addiction ,eating pizza in my bed, driving the car while listening to blues and jazz, walking barefoot, walking barefoot in the grass, more dancing, skating or at least trying to, vintage cloths, my clohts cheap and second hand, cooking without failing, hot cheese, more hot cheese, love, my parents, my travelbook, meeting new people,watching twinpeaks

I don't love

things in my bed that don't belong there, feeling them while I'm sleeping, people who talk to much, people who take really bad pictures, people who put a lot of really bad pictures on facebook, coconut, dirty feet, nailpolish, losing things, searching for lost things, sitting next to the window on a airplane when I really have to pee urgent,
And I hate acting like I'm interesting

PHILOSOPHY

Eat well travel often

Travel solo and you learn more about yourself than the places you visit

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Thanks to couchsurfing I ended up on a portuguese highway wearing flipflops drving a scooter while running out of gas and a broken meter who could not tell us how fast we were driving. Thank you Nico.

No really I love couchsurfing, only met really nice open-minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always realize how small Belgium is and how inspiring others can be. I need to get away at least once a year. Because I get fed up with my environment but when I travel makes me realize how nice my environment is. I need the balance between my home with friends and meeting new people form abroad who inspire you so much. Inspiration is what you get while couchsurfing.

Interests

I love skating and snowboarding. I bought a little globe cruiser to take with me while traveling, hope I wont regret it because it's kind of heavy. I like deep conversations about international issues and global change but also realy apreciate silence. I look forward to meet new people, how they live, what they eat, what they do,...

Love analog photography, you really have to think about the picture you're going to take. Also enjoy alternative cinema.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My host in portugal took us to the attic of a bar somewhere. When we came at the attic there were people dancing tango on a beautiful wooden floor in the coziest attic I ever been. We drank port wine and just watched them dancing. I took 2 pictures to be sure I had 1 but offcours both of them have failed.
