ABOUT ME

Belgian living in the Netherlands, loving British humour, Greek and Italian food, Norway, cats, hot chocolate, walking barefoot in the grass, cooking, watching stars, the smell of nature after the rain and burned wood, reading books, music, long walks on the beach or in a forest, hugs.

I'm an introvert, which doesn't mean I'm shy (I do love getting to know new people) but it might take some time and you may have to dig a little bit to get to know me.

Things I don't like: lies, prejudices and a lack of empathy.

PHILOSOPHY

Great conversations are like beautiful squares in foreign cities one finds at night and then don't know how to get back to in daytime - Alain de Botton

Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The place I live is quite far from the nearest train station (Vlissingen), but the bus stop is in walking distance ... so if you need a place to stay I'm always willing to help.

Also, if you want to meet, share some travel stories, go for a coffee, ... let me know :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first couchsurfing experience on June 15th 2011.

Interests

Music, photography, nature, dancing (folk music), animals, people.
