Hi everyone

I lived as an exchange student in Florianópolis, Brazil, where I got to know Couchsurfing. Now I am living in my hometown Ghent, Belgium's most beautiful city.
I love hiking, theatre, literature, art, philosophy, sports, music and of course traveling.
After my beautiful experiences in Brazil, I'm excited to show you Ghent. I already hosted some people unofficially, but now I wanna be an active member of the community again.
I'm really enjoying it, as several couchsurfers became good friends.

I'm living together with one roommate, but we have a very spacious living room where we can host up to three people (on two couches and one mattress).

I try to create a safe(r) space for all my guests. Everyone is welcome. Come as you are.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I wanna meet new people and get in touch with different cultures. Traveling is the best way of learning.
I approach things from an international and intersectional point of view, learning from the people I meet.
It's always better to learn from locals than to do all the mainstream tourist stuff.

Música, películas y libros

I'm reading fiction, non fiction and poetry about various different topics. Let's share reading tips!

I love a lot of different types of music. I also love to listen to music from different countries, in different languages. If I'd have to chose I would go for Brazilian MPB or some jazz classics. Every type of music I listen to, I prefer to experience live. I can recommend places and artists!

I really love Ghent's movie scene. If you're staying for a longer time or the weather is bad, I'd love to go to a cinema together!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I traveled throughout Brazil during my student exchange program. I tried couchsurfing to improve my Portuguese, so that I could pass my exams. In the end I did.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can show you every nice spot in Ghent, as I know the city pretty well by now.
I can teach you Dutch, English, Portiguese or French.
I can share my passion for culture, Latin America, social change, music, ...
I can offer piano classes at home, although I'm not very talented myself.
I really love cooking together.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I like to listen to people and have long conversations about a broad range of topics. I also love to go to concerts and try local food/drinks. I am really open to getting to know new cultures, without imposing the frameworks I already know.
