I'm a teacher who is currently studying pedagogics in Antwerp.
Although I am supposed to be fulltime student, I am spending most of my time volunteering for Jong Groen, an ecologist political organisation. Trying to save the planet.
During the weekends, you can find me in the forests of Kasterlee, the little town in which I grew up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm dreaming of a world without borders, where people have a heart for each other and nature.
CS is a platform that brings me very close to this Utopia.

Interests

I'm local councilor for the green party in Kasterlee. Like I said, trying to save the planet.

When travelling, I love hitchhiking, spontaneous decisions, adventures, sports, culture.
Unfortunately, life is not always holiday. That's why I'm trying to bring the travel vibe into my everyday student life: talking to strangers, exploring new places, looking around as much as I can.

Although I am very proud of this beautiful list, the destination doesn't always need to be on the other side of the world to experience some great adventures. ✨

Teach, Learn, Share

The hobby I gain most energy from is definitely roller skating. The old skool 2x2 ones. I looove shredding the skate park and make the skater kids' jaws drop. I've got two pairs, so if they happen to fit your shoe size, i'd love to teach :)

I also love "travel sports". I already tried scuba diving, rock climbing, bungee jumping, canyoning, kayakking, rafting, hiking, mountain biking, surfing, ice skating and so on. If you're into one of these: let's do it together!
