I'm Aline. I'm a 22-year old student living in Ghent. I love to enjoy the little things in life and capture these enjoyments in photographs. I'm a sociable and happy person. I study orthopedagogical sciences (a combination of psychology, social work and special education). This is related to my empathic character and my love for children. On saturdays I volunteer at the Scouts at my hometown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people and learning about other cultures. These things really broaden your horizon.

Interests

• coffee
• nightlife
• cultural exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very broad music style. Depending on my mood, I like hip hop, acoustic music, classical music, dance, rock, house,... Some days I like 'no brain movies' which make me laugh (eg.american pie) but other days I'm more into movies that can learn me something (eg. pearl harbor). I mostly read books during the holidays and when I travel. The most interesting books for me are drama's about human traumas. Sounds maybe a bit depressing, but it teaches me a lot about the inner self which I find very interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to India for an internship of 3 months, alone. It was a very challenging but wonderful experience that taught me a lot about myself, about cultural differences, and about being happy with what you have.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ghent is a beautiful city. Nothing is more enjoyable then having a cup of coffee in the beautiful center of Ghent on a cold day, or a frish pint of beer on a terras in summer. We can chat, play games, meet people,...
