Hi!

My name is Zaza, and if I find some time I'd absolutely love to host you :)

At the moment, I'm only able to host if you can bring an air mattress and sleeping bag.
I'm new in Leuven, so I don't know many places yet, but I'm happy to discover them together if I have some time :)

I did my first solo travel when I was 18, mostly using couchsurfing, and I absolutely loved it. The people you meet, the places you would otherwise never get to see, everything was amazing! I'd love to give you the same experience when staying in Antwerp!

Sometimes I'm a bit struggling to find my place in the world and figuring out who I want to be. But I always keep an open view and I stay curious to what happens around me.

Well, I also do circus and I'm very active, when not travelling I try to swim and boulder once a week.

At home I always eat vegetarian and most of the time vegan, but since I think food is often part of the culture I'm flexible while travelling.

Also don't just write 'hi' and then wait for me to respond to ask a question about Antwerp. I'm happy to answer questions, but send them immediately in the first message :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet new people and experience local life in other places. While traveling I was already looking forward to hosting people when I would be back home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy every kind of music as a long as it's danceable! I'll always prefer a good beat over well-known lyrics :)

I absolutely love to be curled up in the sofa with a good book! I also really enjoy seeking out bookstore cafes or nice reading spots outside. I read many genres, but I'm absolutely in love with magical realism and I recently discovered romantasy, which I'm also really enjoying!

two books I could read over and over again:
Como Agua para Chocolate - Laura Esquivel
O Alquimista - Paulo Coelho

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cold water swimming! You should really try it someday if you have the chance. You get a lot of energy from it and everyone comes out of the water happier (litteraly, you produce more of some specific hormone because of the coldness of the water and these make you feel more happy and calm ;) ).

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I was 8 years old I have been doing circus. I train a few times a week and for me it's the perfect combination between sports and art :)
If you're in Antwerp on a Wednesday evening you can join for a free training if you'd like!
