About Me

Born and raised in Bruges, Belgium.
I worked for a year in a really nice café/restaurant and travelled to Thailand and Israel during that year. Here I got the 'travel fever' is what I call it, I'm really eager to see new countries and learn about other cultures.
For the moment I'm going back to college, studying Hotelmanagement because of my interestes in hospitality and FOOD.
In my spare time I go dancing, modern and salsa.
You can say that I'm a energetic, social and impulsive person and I'd like to show people around in my hometown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I want to get to know the real culture and people and try to leave out all the touristic sites. Couchsurfing is a really good alternative if you want to skip the expensive hotels. It's also nice to meet new people and show them around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up with latin music like Buena vista social club, Manu Chao... But I also love experimental music, jazz and rock.
Not the kind of tv watcher, sorry
If I only could have more time to read... But I like the old English classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a boat in Thailand to a mysterious location in the middle of the night. You couldn't see a thing and the sea was really stormy. We had no lifejackets, because there were none. Stranded on the island en needed to climb a mountain to get to the secret location. Eventually we arrived and apparently the party was the day before.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you travel make sure the whole experience is for YOU, it's okay to be selfish sometimes.
Go for your goals.
And French fries are Belgian :)
