About Me

[Soirée chill de rencontre couchsurfing chez moi se samedi 7. Welcome !]

Hello you ! So... What about me ?
My name is Arthur, I'm between two lives. One as a student in Brussel in geography and environmental management, dealing with a job in a restaurant, a passion for drawing and cinema, bike, beers and theater. And another life, as a traveler, as a volunteer from Icelandic tundra to Guatemalan jungle. Dealing with... adventure ! In love with nature and deep wilderness, extreme environment and meeting random people on the way.

Always seeking for things that i still didn't try, and the last was... Hitchiking from Brussel to swedish Lapland. Took 30 to reach lapland, 5 to come back home, without spending any money, so i enjoyed couchsurfing :)
Now it's time for me to give it back and host people in Brussel !

I live in a small apartment on Brussel's rooftop, close to "Parc du Cinquantenaire". I'm sometimes chilling home, cooking and movie. Sometimes intensively studying or most of the time doing events outside, whatever, you're most of the time welcome, but my availability would vary a lot.

/!/ Don't send a request more than a big week before you're arrival, i would'nt know in advance what will be my availibility.

Every monday: Late class at my uni, not possible to host someone for the first night.

Every Thursday: movie club with my Friends, you will have to come probably :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing Iceland: sleeping in a tent and hitchyke.
Normal ? Yes.
Exept when you forget that you're ONLY supposed to do that in summer... But you end up doing it in Winter, when most of the inner-country is closed for safety reasons. (=Snow storm).

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything means "a bit more" for me, so I'm always super interested by learning new skills or discovering cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing simple and good moment, cooking, talking about travel experience and sharing tips.

I can advice you nice place in Brussel but i'm not into urban tourism that much.
