About Me

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm a backpacker travelling Australia. I've been in Sydney for the last 2 months, where I met a lot of amazing people! I joined some couchsurfing events, where I made lots of cool friends.
Myself, I've never tried couchsurfing before, but after this experience I know the couchsurfer people are my kind of style :) We usually share the same vision about life, which makes us relate easily.
I am also a huge soccer and cycling fan!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like travelling and meeting new people from throughout the world, so this couchsurfing community could be a great help. For now I'm in this for the surfing really, but once I get back home to Belgium, I'll probably accept people in my home too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new in this, so far no experience as a couchsurfer, but I did join some amazing couchsurf events in Sydney!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say the coolest thing I've ever done was the bungee jump in Norway, in between two cliffs, from a bridge 80 meters high. The adrenaline rush almost kicked my heart out! Or I also stood on the Kjeragbolten, just google that if you're interested :)

I studied in Spain for 5 months and now I'm travelling Australia for another 7 months.
