Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet my human brothers and sisters and discover all their amazing cultures. Travel the world and try to make it more fair. Share, learn, love.
ABOUT ME
Belgian with some foreign roots, I grew up in a poor industrial suburb of Brussels, next to the countryside. I loved it ! We were kids from all over the world, we were the world ! (there are 128 diferent nationalities in my town). I met wonderful friends and discovered their original cultures. I developed what I call " heart origin ". I went so deeply in the Moroccan culture that I really feel partly Moroccan. I decided to study architecture at university, because I wanted to work on new ways of living in the social housing, which often conditions the behaviour and the future of the youths who grew up in. I spent one year on Erasmus exchange in Spain, and this is, up to now, the best year of my life.
After spending 2 years in a cool belgian architecture studio, I want to spend some time abroad before trying to work for the United Nations.
PHILOSOPHY
" Ma raison d'être a pris le pas sur ma raison sociale, à toutes les prisons du paraître j'ai mis un retourné facial " (John Pucc' Chocolat, french street poet)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm gonna emigrate for a while in Canada and hope to meet great people by couchsurfing. I'll try to be a cool guest. : )
When I'll be fixed somewhere I'll offer hospitality in my turn. I hope to welcome people in Brussels to make them discover my city that I love passionately !
