Hello!

My name is Zoë, I'm currently 26 years old and in my home country (Belgium) I'm a Primary School Teacher.
I love teaching, but after a year of hard work I needed a break and decided to follow my dreams and start traveling. I don't know how long I'll be on the road or when I'll go back, but that doesn't matter, because all I want right now is learn more about this world, new people and other cultures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would love to learn more about this world first hand, from the people living there. I'm looking for a nice, easy and affordable way to get to know other places and people in this world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books are without a doubt the Harry Potter series! I must have read them over 30 times already in different languages. So it's save to say the films (although not as good) can be added to my 'favourite-list'.
I love watching films, so there are quite a bunch of others I like. As long as it isn't a horror-thriller type of movie, I'm fine with it.
My book choices are mostly in the fantasy genre or children's books (I am a Primary School Teacher after all).
I hate the 'what's your favourite type of music'-question. I just never seem to be able to answer it. It's very diverse. I listen to classical music, Bob Dylan, C.W. Stoneking, but just as well to Ed Sheeran, Manu Chao, film soundtracks and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once conquered all of my fears abseiling from a 65m high waterfall in Vietnam.
I lived with a host family in Ecuador for 3 months during my education as a Primary School Teacher.
And I guess leaving my home to go traveling on my own without an actual plan is something pretty amazing too. For me at least.
