About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Helping refugees find a new life in my country.

ABOUT ME

I am a dreamer, emotional; love and respect are important to me, as is my family. I like to explore and understand. I love to observe people. I love beauty, of the soul and of the body. I am a city lover: my hometown Brussels and also New York, San Francisco and Mumbai {many others but these i truely feel at home in}. I am also fond of photography, making photos myself and admiring the work of others, mostly black and white, such as from great artists as Vivian Maier and Robert Doisneau. I also love to go to the movies and eat great food (italian, thai, indian, mexican, etc etc). I mostly go with my senses and moods. I believe in being kind to other people, even those we don't agree with. I have a few very good friends. I truely love 3 people in this life, among which my mother and my father, who mean everything to me.

PHILOSOPHY

This life is about finding peace in your heart.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
