I consider myself an easy-going young lady, always smiling, who loves to make people happy. I was born in Belgium, which left in me a strong taste for chocolate; then moved to France, which impregnated me with the love of wine and good food, and now live in Rotterdam, which gave me the will to participate to the building of a better, greener world. I am also interested in Buddhist philosophy and try to work on myself, understand my emotions, as a starting point to the creation of the conditions for a happy world.

I love to learn and to share experiences and stories, and also to have debates with people with different background/perspectives! I studied philosophy and life sciences, and I am interested in a wide array of topics (I would study law, maths, green economics, physics.... everything if I could).

Since recently I became flexi/vegetarian and I am very willing to share recipes. Always ready to cook something in general and happy to help with any chore!

I am currently taking a gap year, trying to get some professional experiences and finding a master.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that this platform is a great opportunity to create a strong global community based on love, generosity, and understanding/communication. The basis for peace!
