CURRENT MISSION

Discover new countries !

ABOUT ME

After having finished my studies in Art, History and Archaeology in Brussels, I decided to specialize in tourism and culture :) I'm currently working in a museum about European politics. I have been living in Brussels for nine years, I love it, so much things to do day and night, and I appreciate its cosmopolitan side! You can keep informed about a wide range of European cultural activities:). Travelling if essential for me, to discover new cultures and new people. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I regularly host people at my place, trying to show them the city and its best aspects! And sure i meet couchsurfers when I travel:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted essentially in Europe : Germany, France, Romania, Poland, Latvia. I l also take part to the CS events, in Brussels (hikings, going out, cultural events, etc...), or when I am abroad.
I'm always ready to meet interesting and trustworthy people, who are motivated to discover new cultures.

Interests

I like reading, listening to music, exploring new cities and countries,going to the museums and cultural events (concerts, performances...), talking about lots of stuffs :)
I often walk as well on the hiking trails, in France or in other countries. At each time it's a good opportunity to discover the nature in all its aspects.
And of course, I love taking snaps, especially of architecture and old historical districts. I update my own blog (that contains photos of my trips) quite regularly :)
