Hi there,
My name is Sarah. I'm a student from Ghent who loves anything music-related. My music taste goes from the cure, joy division, pearl jam and the smiths to breaking benjamin, a day to remember and more dreamy music like post-rock or indie.

My main hobby is writing songs and performing them. I have an album out (https://eyemer.bandcamp.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/eyemermusic/).

Other things I like to do are cycling, swimming (sometimes), drawing, writing, reading and travelling. I love being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get out of my comfortzone and meet new people from around the world. I think we can all learn from each other!

!!! I only accept people who come alone, so no couples or groups of friends. I just don't have enough space for more than one extra person. I host for 1-2 nights, not more.

What I provide: a bed, and a small breakfast. Can't afford more, I'm just a student :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played live with only my voice and guitar for more than a thousand people :)

Teach, Learn, Share

mental health is just as important as physical health. Mindfulness helps me a lot and I encourage you to look into it if you're stressed or if you ruminate frequently.
