I'm a 40 year old educational adviser (this sounds so boring, but hey, That's my job). I try to work part time, but I find it difficult to say no. At the moment I work 70% which gives me plenty of time to spend time with friends, travel, host people,...

I like to wander through the streets of Brussels, and to discover the little things. A nice local restaurant, a little park, a small music venue,... I also use my folding bike a lot, which makes it very easy to get around.

I like talking, walking, cycling, improvising, singing, eating, cafes, coffees, lakes and ponds, rivers, fountains,...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I bought an apartment in the centre of Brussels last year and I like to share it with people. It does need some refurbishment, but I really like it the way it is now. A lot of space, not a lot of stuff.

I like to meet new people and new cultures. We're all so similar, and so different at the same time. So little time, so many things to learn :-)

I love living in Brussels and I like to share my lifestyle with people from all over the world.

Interests

I play improvisation theatre in Brussels. I worked in the UK before as a teacher in an alternative school (kids didn't have to go to lessons). At the moment I'm an IT advisor so I could talk about that.
