CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love meeting people that care about something and are passionate. I love nature both human and wild, I love sailing, especially kite surfing. When I was a child I wanted to be a writer, I am not sure I will be one but I do like meeting artists because I feel a little connection with them. I enjoy especially house party, I enjoy having nice meals and talks with friends. I can be sarcastic sometimes so never take me too seriously ;-)
Sometimes I even write about music, politics and art... you can see some at http://www.vansteenberghe.fr

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to give luck a bigger role in my everyday life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went to Brasil and met wonderful people!
I am now planning in big trip to Lain America!

I like hosting people with various background.

I have travelled in some places in the US, Germany, Brasil and the UK, CS was really helpful for that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Leeds in the UK and everything was very easy, we all spent a nice time there ! I also went to Stoke-on-Trent and it was very interesting to live with someone who was working in the speciality industry of that region: ceramic, I made my own vase and he showed me how it works. I also met an artist and it was intersting to talk to see how the art market works. In the Bremen area, it helped me a lot to find a nice place to live and to meet interesting people.
I also hosted lots of people in Bremen, well when my housemates allowed me to, and it was great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16, I won a grant from Zellidja to discover arabic music in Tunisia for a month.
Part of this project was to travel alone. My parents were scared but it was a very good experience.
From time to time I still listen to some Tunisian musicians I met there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain the magic behing the A380 flights and what you can do with spacecraft, space telecommunication!
I always welcome language skills swap, it is so nice when it goes both ways. French - Chinese, French - Espagnol, French - Portugese, anyone interested?
