ABOUT ME

I want to live life intensely, explore and grow. That's probably the reason I studied Moral sciences. At the moment I teach drum lessons, give and follow yoga classes and work as a receptionist in an abbey. Also I'm volunteering as a moral consular. In my free time I also study music and in general I try to be conscious about my lifestyle and lead a life that is respectful towards nature.

I think it is important to be curious and open to new things and this is what brought me to couch surfing! It's a great way to exchange experiences with people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Be creative, in every possible aspect of life

Try to see the beauty in everything. Life isn't perfect, but it's what you make of it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like meeting people from all over world, it's like seeing the world pass through your living room. I love (getting to know) good food, go out to dance, go to markets, have a good coffee or tea, have funny or serious conversations, go to live music or just walk the pretty streets of Gent aimlessly. Also I can give tips and information for you to explore the city yourself. Depending on my plans, mood and your wishes, I can join you or just try to be a good host and let you explore yourself! At the very least, I always enjoy a good conversation with the people I'm hosting.

Since I went couch surfing for the first time myself I found that it's the best way there is to get to know the way of life of a certain place and to open your mind.

Interests

Music (I play drum), nature, yoga, laughing, dance (salsa, merengue, lindy hop,...) and just enjoy the good things in life. And, a good book is always one of my best companions!
