About Me

You know, if you check cheap flights every day to see the world, traveling is your passion!

A few years ago I did this amazing big trip in South Africa. I stayed with a few people thanks to couchsurfing. And it was absolutely amazing. They were very nice and hospitable, generous. Not only by letting me stay, eating something, sharing favorite places to visit. Their information about the country and how to visit it as a local person was very nice.

When I travel, I like to see the real country, not just the touristy things, the real experiences, how the locals live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a way to get to know the local population.
That means that I am one step closer to getting to know the real country.

And it is a very cool and cheap way of traveling. Great bonus point!

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae, jazz, hip hop, ... I like a lot of different kinds of music.

I enjoy watching movies and series, occasionally binge watch. Just have to know what the endings are!

Occasionally I read a book, it takes a lot of time and dedication for me.
Because I fall asleep when it is not up to speed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climed a few volcanoes in Indonesia, very memorable!

I traveled through South Africa alone and I did not feel alone for a single moment. A beautiful country, with very nice people and nature. The best experience of my life so far.

Currently travelling on a whv with my partner, Mathias, in Australia. We are exploring the country on a slow pace, getting to know what life in this country is about.

Teach, Learn, Share

Like to know everything about the country, it does not have to be political for me.
Your favorite places, the way people are with each other, how you are as a local person.

I would like to tell you how I am as a local in Belgium.
What my country is all about except for the obvious: the beer, chocolate and fries.
I do not really have a special skill ... but if we were in a bar, we would drink something ...
there is a chance that you can see me dance, really dance!
