Description
Hello

I am living in Brussels next to a metro station. I'm primarily looking for somebody to help me with the renovation of my flat. I'm fairly traveled, I also like architecture, international politics. I'm fairly new on workaway, but I ve been active on couchsurfing for several years and I expect this kind of approach (cultural exchange)

I would also be interrested if someone want to teach me Russian (i've got the basics)

I m also looking for a graphic Web designer for an association of the neighbourhood.

I studied Engineering but I can speak about something else :-) . I'm currently renovating my apartment so I'll be around often. I can gives you some tips about travelling in Belgium, being in Brussels is a good base to explore small Belgian (where trains are cheap). I 'm living close to a metro station and not far from the Atomium

Serge was one of the best flatmates I've ever lived with. He hosted me for 3 months! My tasks were giving him russian lessons, going grocery shopping and taking care of the plants when he was not home.
