About Me

I am a curious, positive human being who loves discovering new countries and learning new languages. I think it's important to be eager to learn all the time. I am understanding and will always be open for other opinions, even if I don't really agree with them. Helpful person with a lot of empathy.

I like football, traveling, reading, going to music festivals, gigs,... I am easy going but adventurous. I once did volunteer work in France and lived in Spain for a few months. Currently living in lively London.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to enter into another person's way of thinking for some time, especially when his environment is completely new to me. I could stay in a regular all-in hotel when I travel, but that just doesn't satisfy me. I prefer staying in hostels and with couchsurfers, people who have interesting stories to share and people who you can share your own story with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Spain for one semester: lots of interesting experiences and people in a completely unknown environment.
