About Me
Hi! I'm an ambivert girl (neither intro- nor extrovert) who loves meeting people! I have traveled a lot already, in my not (yet) so long life, and am continuing to do so, on my own. I love to help were I can, and I do so gladly. My motto would probably be "stay curious and explore". ☺️

About Me
Hey everyone!! My name is Aurore, but you can say Aurora if it feels more natural to you (I love how "Aurora" sounds). I'm a 23 years-old student in Brussels (I study law, in the hope of maybe working for a charity that gives legal advice to migrants). I love to travel and discover new cultures and new people! I love chill travels where I take my time for exemple to sunbathe, swim, or hike to a nice spot to picnick there. I love sports and nature! I also love to discover history and culture, even though I don't like spending all day in museums. I also like walking around in cities. I'm going to Greece (Thessaloniki) this August with my sister. But when she goes back home on the 26th, I'd like to stay a bit longer in Greece, or I'd also love to visit the neighbouring countries. I've been to a trip around Greece a long time ago, and I have an awesome memory of this trip but I want to see more of Greece! I'll be happy to try and give you tips about Belgium or countries I've been to (I say "try" because even in my own city I feel like such a tourist, I never know what bars to recommend and I get lost quickly 😂). And I'd be happy to help you practice French if you want! I'm only fluent in French and English but if you're patient with me and speak slowly we can also communicate in German or Dutch. And I intend on learning the basics of Greece before my trip. I'm vegan and would be happy if you don't mind me using your kitchen to cook a vegan meal for you, or with you :) Oh and I'm queer (not saying that to look for a date, just in case you feel more comfortable around other queer people) ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Solo travel experience
I loved Brussels. Just a short train ride to Ghent, Bruges, and Ostend. I felt very safe there. I chose to stay there for Christmas and was not disappointed. Many establishments were open on Christmas Day. Fantastic art museum. A little cheese shop that was to die for. My hotel was a short walk from the Central Station.

I was surprised by Brussels. I was there and enjoyed going around. There are lots of beautiful places, nice shops, and colorful markets and also in the evening, I remember a lively atmosphere and music. I stayed very near Grand Place, taking also day trips by bus to Ghent, Antwerp, and Bruges. I loved the whole experience in the city.

Solo travel experience
I went on a short trip to Brussel to visit my friend I spent there 4 nights. I had the best time, friendliest people and it was so easy to get around and I practiced my French although they speak another dialect but they were really nice and patient with me . Food was cheap and best thrifting experience 😍 They have shops where you by clothes and accessories by the kilo, so you basically weigh the stuff you want and you pay the bare minimum I got soooo many stuff for under 30€ I haven't tried many Belgian meals but the brunch meals are a must as well as the sweets ofc we had Belgian waffles which were funnily shaped as vaginas and penises 😂😂 It's really safe we were two girls roaming around brussels late at night and gladly we didn't encounter any problems with anyone. So an overall perfect experience 👌
