About Me

Hello! I'm 23y old and just graduated from university! I'm exploring surf destinations in Central- and South America. I travel mostly alone because I'd love to meet new friends to surf and hang out with! For the moment I travel with my good friend Marco (24), he also from Belgium. We were both born in Antwerp where we studied together in highschool. Marco worked 4 years in the harbour of Antwerp, loading and unloading containers so he's a strong guy! Sid just finished he's social work and communication studies. We started our big adventure in march where we are currently helping building a hostel near the sea in Los Angeles. After the USA we go further down to Mexico, all the way to Panama and maybe even beyond. We like the experience of learning new languages, cultures, skills and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
