ABOUT ME
I m a nice Belgian guy, I think. I like to travel and discover other cultures and new cities. If you want to discover the real Brussels life, come at home !
Unfortunately, I'm working during the week.
I'm living with my girlfriend in a nice 2 floors appartment. Feel free to ask if we don't have already a guest surfing on our couch. During the weekend we have free time to give you a visit of Brussels and drinking beers.
Every Thursday, I'm organizing with friends the "Weekly beer call !" : we are meeting in a bar (a different one each time) to chat and to enjoy beers. It's very fun and more and more people are coming : sometimes we're 25.
I'm doing photographs for the moment !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I look forward to meet new people and to discover Brussels to others.
You're more than welcome at home !!!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Don't hesitate to contact me if you are in Brussels. That'll be a pleasure to host you at home. Every morning, I m cooking for myself, Anne-Florentine (my girlfriend) and for you a good breakfast : pancakes or lemon cake is "the couchsurfing tradition". Let's experience it !
Another couchsurfing tradition is to go for a dinner to a little cheap restaurant close to home. The chef of the restaurant is a great guy. He is very funny and very typical.
In 2008, I traveled during 3,5 weeks in the States by couchsurfing and that was great ! First big trip by couchsurfing !
Since then, I'm traveling a lot by couchsurfing : USA, China, Iceland, Norway, Canada, Scotland, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I saw and did lot of interesting and crazy things in my life.
Once I was with two friends in a military base ant we had some problems because the militaries caught us. We had machine gun in our back, the dogs were "grrrr" and a friend of mine was hunted like a deer.
I met and spoke with Moby a couple of years ago.
I was at Seattle for less than 24 hours I was invited to a wedding. Very cool ! I knew nobody excepted two girls I met in a bar.
An amazing party for Halloween in NYC.
An hitchhiking trip in Iceland.
An hiking trip in the wild part of the Great Wall (in China). Spending the night on the Wall, bonfire on the Wall, etc.
A walk in the middle of Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada.
A wonderful trek in Iceland for my second time there.
The ABC trek in Nepal.
An awesome roadtrip with my bro through New Mexico and Arizona.
One of the best roadtrip ever : through Skye and Outer Hebrides with Richard inside the "Talivan".
