Hi everyone ! I'm a belgian student and a BIG travel lover ! After a year doing internships and traveling in South America, I am now doing a masters in Agroecology that gave me the opportunity to live consecutively in the Netherlands, Germany and France. I'm currently working on my thesis which is about agroforestry systems in the Peruvian Amazon, and this is also where I will be in the coming months :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always have been traveling a lot in my free time, and I love when it allows me to meet people. I especially enjoy meeting locals, which teach me about their country and make me enjoy the stay even more. I discovered Couchsurfing in Croatia, and then a little bit later with a friend in Norway and it didn't take me long to totally cling to the idea ! I'm a very social person and I enjoy cultural exchange, debates and sharing about many topics !

Interests

Traveling, discovering new cultures, new places, new people !
I love: Spending time with my amazing friends, sharing delicious Belgian beers, reading books, hiking beautiful mountain, having passionate conversations, listening to music, learning a new language, going crazy in the kitchen and improvising vegetarian dishes, and a lot more!
As I study agroecology, I'm very interested in sustainable food systems and all the links we have with our natural environment. I am interested about agroforestry, urban farming, organic, and any practice participating to make this place a little greener!

In general I am a very curious and open person, I like to discuss and share about many topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love many different musical styles and they keep diversifying the more I travel. I love traditional latin music (salsa, bachata, cumbia,...) but I also listen to a lot of old rock, country, folk, electro, funk, soul, jazz, tripop ... and of course, it's always better when it's live - and whenever it makes you wanna dance ;-)
Movies: Relatos Salvajes, Mr Nobody, American Beauty, The Artist, Boyhood,... I like them deep and/or crazy !
Books: there's too many I can think of, but my last crush was for The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger). And btw, I'm usually up for some book-sharing :-)
