Overview
About Me
HELLO THERE!
I am an enthousiastic Belgian architecture student, currently on Erasmus exchange in Trondheim, Norway.
Last year (2014) I finished my bachelor degree in Engineering-Architectue in KULeuven and decided to do my first master year at NTNU. This is one of the best things I did in my life, because I learned that I love to travel and meet new people with their own stories from all over the world. This year I will start my last year in Belgium again to do my thesis. I will be going to South-Africa for 2 months to do fieldwork and I am really looking forward to it!!!! Another plan for this summer is to do the Transsiberian, which I will be doing for a part with a Catalan friend I met in Norway.
Some other important things about me is that in Belgium, I still live with my parents and younger brother. We also have 3 lovely cats. I really love cats, my friens call me 'CAT WOMAN'.
Most of my time, I am studying or making design projects for school, but when I have free time, I like to meet up with friends to go out or to do a little trip. I also like to be creative!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
During my Erasmus year, I did a lot of trips to discover the amazing nature of Norway. I also met a lot of new and interesting people and I would like to continue doing these two things: travelling and meeting new people. It thaught me to be much more open minded and to live my life the fullest. I am really in for new and crazy adventures, to keep on expanding my horizons and discovering new opportunities.

I learned a lot of things about myself and the world by meeting new people from other countries. I woul like to continue doing that. I would also kie to learn new languages and being more forced to speak another language that I am not really good in yet.
I like teaching languages and teaching you about typical things from Belgium.
