Hi!My name is Alexander and I'm a student in Ghent, Belgium. I'm half Belgian, half Ukrainian. That's why half of my family live in Israel ( yes they're Jewish). I have my own small ( 30 m² ) place in Ghent where I stay during the week, and in the weekends I mostly go home to my parents in Essen, near Antwerp, close to the Dutch border.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard about it from friends and found it an awesome concept. Partially living in the wonderful city of Ghent, I find it my duty to give other people the chance to visit the city in a rather cheap way! Definitely wanting to make use of it myself to visit other countries around the world.

Interests

My interests are music and sports ( tennis and football/soccer ) . I often go to concerts and the festivals are my yearly highlights. I play competitive tennis and I'm also a great footballfan.
