About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build a flying boat

ABOUT ME

I'm simple, peaceful and independent... I love to travel! Traveling makes me feel at home, sometimes even more than when I'm home.

As far as I can remember I always wanted to be an artist, and I'm still working on it even though I've got a drawing diploma.

PHILOSOPHY

laugh, dance, share and eat fruits

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS from several friends who had a very good experience

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started using CS when I traveled in Turkey and Eastern Europe in 2008. I had only great experiences. Every single person that hosted us was truly kind and helpful! So many nice meetings!
Then I started hosting people in Ireland, and now back in Brussels.
It became an essential tool for me when I travelled alone in Argentina, because actually I've never been alone thanks to Couch Surfing!

Interests

Arts (mainly drawing, illustration, printmaking,...) Languages, Meditation, Education, Dance, Nature & animals, Sociology, Astronomy, Cooking, Permaculture, Good beers...
And of course traveling!!! And discover other cultures and ways of life... Human being fascinates me!
