About Me

ABOUT ME

Hello, i am travelling through australia and i love it. This is a unique place with the most beautiful scenery i ve ever seen (KARINJINI for example). Also australian people are different then the rest of the zorld but in an awesome way. They are so easy going and a friend is made really quick, and thats what i want to do, make new friends, see beautiful places and just have fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, i prefer Stay with locals who know the Nice not touristic original and local (mostly a bit cheaper) places. When i travel i like to get to know the real place too next to the main touristy attractions

Interests

I studied 6 years of political science back at university a long time ago. This is just enough to know it is bullshit and I don't want anything to do with it anymore. there is only 1 good system and it is a soundsystem. After my studies I started travelling to south east asia. I bought a bike and I travelled through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand during 6 months, which was awesome, because you got total freedom. Back in Belgium I started working as a bartender and worked my way up to a new passion of mine, cooking. My second big trip, next to the smaller trips in Europe was to Central and South America, where I had so much fun and met so many nice people. Now I am doing my working holiday visa in Australia. I bought a car with rooftoptent and hoping to meet new interesting people.
5 years later, what was supposed to be a year in australia, became 5 years. Now I am back in my lovely cold and rainy homecountry Belgium and the best city of the world, Brussels and happy to host finally.
