About Me

I am a 27 years old girl, always smiling (kind of always anyway ;) ), not complicated, just wants to meet great people willing to share their travel and life experiences.

I have been touring Canada for the last 10 months, and I am now slowly going back home in Brussels ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started staying with locals when I travelled to Cuba where I staied in Casas Particulares. It was so great to experience how the local people were really living that I decided to try to travel like that all the time.
Nothing compared to hotels ( staying in hotels is not my travel style) and better than hostels where you finally only meet foreigners like yourself (can be cool, but so much nicer to meet locals!).

During my travel in Canada I also used the helpx website to find hosts with whom I could work and those were amazing experiences ( 2 months in a Ranch in British Columbia, 5 weeks in an organic farm in Ontario and 1 week in a self-sufficient community in Québec - incredible experience, way too short but needed to go back to work ).

Interests

I love to travel, meet new people, achieve everyday new challenges. Nothing crazy, just some new stuff. Like snowboarding (I ski since I was 5 but I never snowboarded before, now it s done :) , same with hydrospeeding, surfing, camping, ... I have worked all summer in an adventure park, in the trees, while I have always been scared of heights ;)
Otherwise, I play field hockey, love my friends and family, to listen and sing on music, to travel, and I looove animals :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I don t have a favorite music, movies or books. It s like I don t have a favorite colour or meal. I love so many things from so many styles. As the movies are concerned for exemple, I love Chicks movies as much as thrillers and historical movies ... For the books, I loved the Hunger Games Trilogy, Le Complot Roumanoff, and I am currently reading Dictators Wives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job and left everything to tour Canada! =)

Teach, Learn, Share

Meeting is Sharing and Sharing is Learning. You live you learn as Alanis Morissette says (that's a real reference! ;) ) and I really started living when I started travelling and meeting new people. I am a chatty girl and I love to share my experiences and to learn from the others.
