Hi!

I'm a 23 year old girl living in Ghent, Belgium. I studied philosophy (ethics, to be specific) at the University of Ghent and now I'm studying Educational Sciences (orthopedagogics). This means that I'm mainly going to be working with people with addiction problems and children with behavioral disorders.

I love travelling (who doesn't?), especially to countries where I can discover nature, new cultures, lifestyles and points of view. While doing this, I'm trying not to take part in very touristic or commercial activities. This is because I am aware of the exploitation that sometimes comes with it, and I don't want to be intruding on any way whatsoever!

I'm always in for a drink... or five.

Currently I'm living in Taiwan (Kaohsiung) as an exchange student :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I'm a student, I like to stay low budget when I'm travelling :)
I'm also excited to meet interesting people, have mind- expanding conversations and to have fun together!
