I’m from Belgium and live in the lovely city of Antwerp. I’m 29 years old and I’m a GP (family doctor) but I now dove in student life again, studying tropical medicine and international health with the aim of working in humanitarian settings in the future. I also volunteer a few weeks every year in Moria refugee camp on Lesvos, Greece.

I’m an extrovert, cheerful person, I like to joke around but am also a good listener and love to have open discussions about... anything. I try to be kind to my fellow creatures and the planet that we’re on.

I enjoy cooking vegetarian/vegan, learning new languages (currently Arabic), reading, playing the violin, climbing, yoga and running. I'm trying to add meditation to my daily habits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting the people is as big a part of traveling as seeing the land for me. I find that most of the time, the best memories and stories of a trip are made with other people. I learnt so much about countries by connecting with the people living there and I wouldn't want to miss out on that!

I've been inactive for some time on CS but would like to pick it up again, really looking forward to it. Currently don't have a fixed place to stay so unfortunately cannot host myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During a trip in the Sinai Desert, we were camping under the open skies. The annual meteorites storm in August changed the beautiful desert sky in to a fireworks show. It was stunning.
