Overview
About Me
Management consultant by profession, traveller by heart.
CURRENT MISSION: apply for the MBA in several US schools. Every since I was 14, I've been dreaming of studying in the USA. Now, after engineering studies in Belgium and London, and 3 years working as a consultant, I'm coming to the USA to write my applications.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet people from around the world and share travel stories (to hosts) and the best local insiders (to guests)
Interests
- kitesurfing
- startups
Music, Movies, and Books
Secret indulgence: I've grown up with Harry Potter books and I've started to reread them recently
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Built a wind turbine in Peru to provide electricity for a school
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell you how to travel to Timor-Leste (avid traveler, look it up on google maps!) why the sky is blue (engineer), why classical development aid is not working (non-profit enthusiast), or why large companies are failing to innovate (consultant). I preferably do not talk too much about work though! ;-)

Anything from good jokes to philosophical discussions
