Hey friends 😊 I am Océane (yeah, it's my real name 🐟), I'm 24 and I come from Belgium. I've done my first solo travel from Octobre 2018 to March 2019 in Europe, Asia and the United States, and it was sooo amazing! I had to go back to Belgium to make some more money, but I will carry on this trip from September 2019 to December 2019. I'll go to Mexico then Central and South America. I'm ready for new adventures!🌍

My second passion is writing. I have a travel blog (http://thebelgianbackpacker.com/) and I'm working on a book. ✒️

I enjoy simple moments the most: laugh with new friends, stay on the beach, hike, drink tea, meditate,.. I also love to talk about spiritual subjects. 🙏

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to meet local people during my trips, especially when I'm travelling alone. It's a great experience to travel the world in a different way and to engage with "strangers".
