About Me

Just finished Medical study, so enjoying those 3months vacations to travel a bit with my girlfrien Charlotte before getting in the serious business of working-life !
We are doing a Van trip from Belgium to the Baltics before exploring Norway and Sweden, with a 2 weeks stop-over in California for a friend's wedding.

I don't like to stay somewhere doing nothing, and I always want to move, learn and try new things, get on the road and go forth to explore !
No me gusta quedarme sin hacer nada, y siempre quiero ir adelante, aprender y probar experiencias nuevas!

I love travelling ! Backpack on my back, thumb up for the cars to stop, the cheapest way is probably the best to meet people and really discover one's culture!;) Actually enjoying the luxuary of vanlife travelling!:)
Me encanta ir de viaje, y me parece que a dedo y con CS es el mejor medio para realmente conocer a la cultura y vida de unos y de sus países!

When I'm bored, I have that great idea to come up with lots of dreams and plans and projects, and I've always promised myself to achieve what I really dream about realizing.. So yep, better not get to bored, otherwise one life won't be enough to fullfil all those plans!!:D

QUOTES that leads me :

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it." - Benjamin Mee, 'We bought a Zoo'

"Be stronger than yourself"

"Todos los viajes tienen un destino secreto sobre lo que el viajero nada sabe"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover a country and its culture from inside instead of an external touristic eye!
To realize and prove there still can be trust in between people who are perfect stranger, simply thanks to the idea of traveling!
Because it's the best thing ever created on earth.

Instead of just spending money for people to give you their services, I think Couchsurfing is an amazing way to encounter people, out of any money-based relation, to make real friendship and experience true culture.
