About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting my PhD while enjoying my free time travelling around Europe. I always willing to meet interesting people I can share with.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about a lot of things, sometimes too many so that I can not carry out all my projects to an end. I am curious and will always ask a lot of questions :) I really enjoy reading, playing and listening to music and learning about science.

I am currently living with my girlfriend Justine. First time I don't live in a shared house ! 2 years ago, we travelled during 13 months around South America. We volunteered, hiked, met a lot of new people, played music in some bars and made the best memories.

PHILOSOPHY
L'union fait la force.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a nice flat in the center of Brussels. I have an extra room that usually serve as an office but the couch inside can turn it into a guest room.

I'm interested in people wanting to get to know about the city and eager to hang out with me and my friends. I you play music and want us to play music together, let's go !! However, I sometimes have a lot of work and might not have much time to invest with the guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had various couchsurfing experience in South America. We used the account of my girlfriend Justine. These sharing moments with people I didn't know beforehand were unforgettable. It learnt me a lot and made me want to host people back home !

Interests

I love listening and playing music. Especially Jazz guitar.

I enjoy getting deep into nature while I also feel comfortable in big cities where the cultural offer is wide. I read a lot, news, novels and essays.

Of course i travel as soon as I can. Not only for sightseeing but to meet locals!

Lastly, I love science and I'm always eager to know more about our world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some guitar , share some knowledge about belgian beers, teach you french, have chats about various topics, enjoy a drink or two together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideally, I'd like to share nice moments with my hosts ! I do see Couchsurfing as a way to meet new people who can eventually become friends more than a way to sleep for free anywhere in the world.

I have some skills that can be useful :

Cooking vegetarian dishes, playing music, telling you travel memories, being a good companion !
