About Me

Currently backpacking in Eastern Europe, I used to travel by bicycle and use the platform « warmshower » as host and guest this is the reason why I just signed up here. I love Europe and its multicultural aspect, from one country to another and from one language to another within small distances. I am used to travel alone because it is easier in many ways and from my opinion the best way to self knowledge and to be more sensitive to the environment around. When I am not travelling I live and work in Brussels and enjoy being with my friends and family !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am more attracted by nature but when I visit a city I like the cultural aspect of it, meeting its inhabitants to know more about the life there, and enjoy the easy access to everything (good food, good movies, meeting people. ...)

Interests

I am a woodworker so I like wooden architecture and furnitures, little details that are so particular from one country to another.
But in general I am curious and interested in many different fields !

  • vegetarian
  • reading
  • cycling
  • backpacking
  • carpentry

Music, Movies, and Books

Well I spend a lot of my time reading I really love it, here are some of my favourites writers (Tomas Espedal, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sylvain Tesson, David Van Reybrouck, .,.).

Music it depends on the mood of course, it can go from classical music to American rap or indie folk pop rock alternative blablabla. But I can say that I am more into calm music, if I am not in a party :)

Love going to the cinema and discovering new stories. I am more into authors movies than big money action movies.
