About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, gather knowledge about people in different cultures and have a kick-ass time while doing it!

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing person who always wants to learn new things in the world! I absolutely Loove reading books but I also love talking to people, the more diverse the better. My friends describe me as quick witted and not "afraid" of a good discussion. (discussions are fun!) As well as easy to talk to and a friend who is kind and caring. (thanks guys!)

PHILOSOPHY

Always work towards your future but try to live in the now as well.

Work hard, play hard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting and by surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed with one of my best friends to 2 different lovely guys in Stockholm and it was an amazing experience! I also couchsurfed by myself in the US and I have hosted people at my place in Gent.

Interests

Listening to music and going to as much concerts and festivals as I can. Going from hardcore metal to dubstep, dnb, hiphop, indie and sometimes even folk, whatever gets my intrest I will listen to regardless of the genre.

Travelling! I have seen my fair share of Europe but there is still so much more to discover in and out of Europe and I hope that I will have the chance to see as much of it as possible. Currently I just moved back to Belgium after living in Gothenburg, Sweden for 5 months and if all works out I'll be moving to England somewhere in the near future.

Snowboarding! <3 After being a skier for many years, I discovered snowboarding when I was 12 and fell in love with it. Have been going every year since :)
