CURRENT MISSION

Try not to lead a linear boring life

ABOUT ME

Came back in Brussels last year after almost nine years spent living in London. I've traveled to South East Asia for 4 months last year and I'm about to settle down in Madrid to be fluent in Spanish and find a job there.

PHILOSOPHY

"Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise."

“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Even though I joined CS 10 years ago, I've never been active up until now. Once I've settled in Spain, I will start hosting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My only experience was as a couchsurfer. I went with a friend who knew the host. I stayed two weeks in a nice flat in New Rochelle, small town half an hour away from New York. The host was really cool.
I never hosted but I intend to in the near future, either in Brussels or somewhere else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky enough to spend 3 days in the Amazon rain forest on the Bolivian side, near the Beni river. I stayed in an eco-village in the jungle, surrounded by snakes, tarantulas, monkeys, aras, crocodiles, ... I will never forget it.

Also, I worked in an animal refuge in Thailand for 2 weeks, feeding monkeys and elephants... That's two things!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good cook so I could teach how to make a good dish or two.

I can teach languages: I am fluent in French and English and I have an upper intermediate level in Spanish, and basics in Dutch

I'd like to learn how to surf and skydive on my own.
