About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover great places and great people

ABOUT ME

I always find it very hard to describe myself. I'm a sociable person who loves to meet new people, which is probably the case for everyone who participates in the couchsurfing project. I may be young, but I've already seen a lot of the world and have done cultural exchanges with Italy and have been active in the AFS cultural exchange program, where I met a lot of international friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, I've just recently joined the community.

Interests

Music (writing, listening, visiting concerts and festivals), drama, literature, deep sea diving, the sea, hiking, snowboarding, visiting new places, ... The usual, I think... Oh, I almost forgot: I love to cook and bake, so if you'll let me, I'll bake something mouthwatering like my double chocolate cake, or some chocolate-chip cookies (or biscuits, whatever suits you best!) .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The rainforest in Australia... It was so beautiful!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since Belgium is a country with three national languages, I'm able to teach you at least two of them (French and Dutch) a little bit during your stay, if you'd like. I can take you to all of the big cities (well, big for our very small country): Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, Bruges,... They are very easy to reach and are most of the time less than an hour away from my home.
