CURRENT MISSION

Planning my RTW trip! Help me out folks!

ABOUT ME

I´m Isabelle and I´ve been backpacking on and off for 8 years now, mostly in Europe. I also took part in some volunteering projects abroad. Last year I travelled around South America for 6 months and loved every second of it.

Back home I share a house with foreigners. I love going out with friends, going to concerts and festivals, meeting my friends from abroad and basicaly having fun. I'm a big music fan...

I used to work as a language teacher with 14-18 year old kids in Brussels. I also studied swedish and lived a year in Sweden, working in a school as a language assistant in french and english. I loved it and will hopefully move back to Scandinavia some day. I basically love nordic countries and cultures and also Latin America:) Always interesting to learn about other cultures and meet people from all over the world.

Some more info? Ok, here it goes...I :
*don't smoke, drink very seldom
*love music and going to concerts, having fun, animals, nature, big cities too, meeting new people and learning about other cultures, ...
*travel on my own, so if I send you a CS request, there'll be just me and my backpack, no one else.

Anything else? Feel free to ask:)

PHILOSOPHY

Life´s too short to spend the whole of it in the same place. And the world is big...
I try not to worry too much and make the most of every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently share a house with 9 other people in Brussels. Unfortunately there's no guest room and no space to accomodate guests:( But if you need any info regarding Belgium and what to do there or where to go, just email me and I'll do my best to help you out.
Or if you want to meet for a drink and a tour of the city, feel free to drop me a line!

Some day I'll hopefully settle somewhere and will have my own place where I'll happily welcome fellow CS:)I just still don't know when and where it will be...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

3 experiences so far in Uruguay, Argentina and Germany (Berlin) so far! Loved all of them and can't wait to do it all again!

I also crashed at ppl's I had met on the way before.
I'm not complicated - I crashed on carpets, trains, sofas, busses and even bus stations before. Also love camping.
So as long as you don't make me sleep outside and that I can have a shower at some point, I'm happy:D
