I am a medical student from Belgium. I love nature and adventures. I'm into sustainability and try to do my best for the environment, but this often comes in conflict with my passion to travel! As I'm a medical student I love to help people around and to make the world a better place in some kind of way. I'm really attached to my friends and family, but I have no problem to be away from home for a long time to explore new places and new people. In my free time I hang out with my friends and find peace in running and swimming. When I have a lot of time I read books and make drawings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a very calm and beautiful medieval city, Bruges, known as the Venice of the North. For my studies, I moved to Leuven, a small city full of students. I always wanted to live in a big metropole. I lived in Berlin and Vancouver and I'm always very reluctant to meet new people, listen to their stories, their values... This broadens my mind. The best way to explore a place is also by meeting people who actually live there. I'm open for everyone!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking with 3 friends in the Hardangervidda national park, more than 7 days away from humanity, litterlay without any connection, just hiking all day long and sleeping in tents, amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to learn everything that broadens my mind and my view on the world and its inhabitants.
I can teach you one of the languages I speak and learn you how to live more sustainable. I can share the (vegetarian/vegan) dishes I make and I love to have a beer together.
