I am open-minded, cheerful and easy-going, with a touch of Belgian absurdness. I do my best to make life a balanced combination of my passions, including astronomy and traveling.
Since September 2018, I have started a new life in Melbourne, as a researcher at Monash University. Looking forward to make new travel companions and go on new amazing adventures!

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." -Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, practice languages, exchange culture, live new adventures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have used some of the largest telescopes on Earth to observe a planet forming around another star.

Teach, Learn, Share

Far from cities, the nightsky can be a wonderful scenery. If the opportunity arises, I could show you some of the wonders that we find just above our head, and tell you a bit about the Universe.
I also like to cook and I'm always interested in new recipes and tips.
I can help you practice French or Spanish, and I'd be glad if you can teach me some words or slang in your own language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Traveling tips, my cheerfulness, and some Belgian beer or chocolate (if you're lucky that I haven't finished all my reserves yet!).
