About Me

It might be cliché, but very true: I really enjoy the little simple things in life.
I like to try new things, different types of food, a nice view, nature, I like people and to have a good laugh. That is why I would like to try out couchsurfing.

I have no experience at all in CS, neither in hosting or being a guest. I hope I can make some great memories.
Although I don't have any references yet, I am hoping that it is not going to stop you from having fun experiences together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover as much from the world as possible, living like a local and to host myself to get to know people and their culture. It is for sure a different way of travelling and that is exactly what I like about it !

If I am looking for a host, it is to discover a new city together, to spend time with new people and to hopefully make nice friends! :)

Interests

I am interested in different cultures, people in general, music, movies, having a drink/dinner, I like a good laugh. I love my friends and everything we do together, the real enjoyment for me can be in the smallest things, as having a quiet moment, where no one feels weird about it.

One of my biggest passion is travelling, and as St. Augustine summarized: 'The world is a book, and those who don't travel read only one page.'

It is a bit crazy to put everything together in one tiny little window, I don't limit myself to my interests at the moment, something new can grasp my attention everyday.

Keep your eyes open, look around, try new things, that is living :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music, I like to discover music they don't play on the radio 5 times a day, especially Indie, but I don't like to put a label on it. When I like it, it doesn't matter what genre it is.
When I visit other countries I love discovering the local music.

I have to say, heavy metal is something I have never liked :)

I like to read, but unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to do so anymore because of my studies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My two trips to Bangladesh have quite marked me, during the first one we crossed the country by bike, so we got really close to the local people in the smallest villages, who had extraordinary stories to tell. It made a big impression. Although I don't think it was me doing an amazing thing, what made it amazing were the people from there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone you meet leaves a mark, some people can give you another look/perspective on life and that is really what I am hoping to find here.

That is both teaching, learning and sharing life-experience :).
