CURRENT MISSION

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing!

ABOUT ME

If we ever meet you might need to correct this, but so far, I describe myself as an energetic, positive, even a bit frivol (That's not even a word?) girl. I really love the whole couchsurf idea as it is the perfect way to meet new interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a place to sleep, a guide to visit Ghent, a good laugh, a cosy chat,...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I generally offer my couch to a lot of people (eg. friends of friends,...), not necessarily via this organized way. Via this website I met some very special people in Marseille, Stellenbosch, Port Alfred, Mpame Village,...

Interests

I sing in a jazz/soul/funk/disco-band and I used to play the piano and guitar. Besides jazz/soul/funk/disco I love to dance on cuban salsa, african rithms, r&b... Altough my house is very small, I managed to find a place for my piano. Surfers are welcome to jam! In summertime, I play tennis on the court very close to my home.
