About Me

I'm a web developer working for an e-commerce company, and I've been living in Brussels for about 10 years now. I’m currently based in St-Gilles—my favorite neighbourhood, just near the city center. I'm a mix of spontaneous and over-thinker, which doesn't always align well. While I can’t host at the moment, I’m always happy to meet up for a drink or a walk around the city if I’m free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met countless amazing people through Couchsurfing, both while hosting and traveling. I'm a social person, but more on the shy or introverted side—so I really enjoy deeper conversations and smaller groups. That’s why Couchsurfing suits me better than hostels. For me, it’s not just about a place to stay—it’s a way to meet people I wouldn’t normally cross paths with, discover a city in a more local and personal way, or show you around some of my favorite spots if you’re staying with me.

Interests
