Hello :), I'm Alex from Belgium. I am an IT Consultant, and in the same time I am studying to become a psychologist (3rd year already). I try always to learn something new and to discover different hobbies. I tried to do everything I could: I like sports like ping-pong and fitness, chess, reading, vegetarian food, I also like political debates, it's very interesting to see the opponents playing with their arguments

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel in a different way, it is always interesting to meet other people with their way of life and to hear different opinions. Going on a holiday and stay in a hotel, I think it's a little bit boring and you have not the opportunity to discover the country and the culture from inside

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped with a parachute, 3 times from an air balloon and 1 time from a plane. First time it was not really what I expected, but when I had to jump the second time I realized that I was scared!, then it became very special, it was awesome :)
