About Me

Working as a graphic designer and a journalist.

I like to be entertained, but I have a scrapbook that I take everywhere so I can easily entertain myself.
I love doing nothing. I also like it when there's a lot to do.
I'm a big fan of house parties. And of my boyfriend.

I am an atheïst and a vegetarian for rational reasons. Do not call me a hippy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to host as much as possible. Did couchsurfing while I was traveling in the US, and when I went to Berlin and some places in Holland. I'd like to do it sometime in Brussels, because it's such a nice way of meeting people, but then I already live here...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Radiohead, Feist, Björk, Sigur Ros, Antony and the Johnsons, Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes... (This list needs updating.) I am also a big fan of Joni Mitchell's.

Books: recently my field of interest shifted from fiction to non-fiction. I am currently reading up on Darwin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best things in life are free e.g. I like to go out and discover deserted spots like old factories or the roofs of apartment blocks. Once I climbed the bell tower of a 1940's factory all the way to the top; the view was stunning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the violin. I also want to share my cooking. I will gladly make you dinner when I'm staying at your place. Nothing too special, probably no meat in it though.
