Hello! I'm Tine and I love to travel!
Lived abroad for a couple of years, but now I'm happy in Belgium. Fortunatelly my 2 kids (Tijl 11 and Sien 8) share the same travel genes and they have seen some parts of the world aswel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Is there a better way to really get to know a country and its people ? Get off the tourist track and broaden your mind! I think the concept is wonderfull, based on trust for a great deal and who knows what kind of adventures one might encounter?!
We're still new at it, but we're open to receiving guests in our home, and hope we can stay with other people around the world and learn about new cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was selected by outdoor brand Fjallraven to join their husky race in the North.
4 days of taking care of sledge dogs, racing with your own sledge and sleeping in a tent with temperatures as low as -25 degr C. It was one of the most amazing things I've done in my life!
