I've studied technical sciences in high school, and I also did an extra year Integrated Security (law enforcement, fire-fighting, first aid & security). This year (2016) I've worked as a security guard for Securitas. But it really wasn't something for me so I recently quit. Now I study history at the University of Antwerp.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simple, I like to travel and to step out of my comfort-zone.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste of music is very versatile, for example I like Indie (Xavier Rudd, Ben Howard, Ben Harper, ..), Hip-Hop (Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Pusha T, Nas, ...), Blues (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Robert Cray, ...), Jazz (John Coltrane, Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, ...), Legends (Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra, ...) & World Music (Buena Vista Social Club, Orchestra Baobab, ...) and so much more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked the Kungsleden (King's Road) in Swedish Lapland. Living 10 days without technology or any luxury. Most awesome feeling ever. I've also visited holy places like mount Sinaï and Jerusalem.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. - Mark Twain

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very interested person, a real listener with an open mind. I like to help people and the world in any way possible. I can learn you the basics of english, french or dutch. Also I can teach some Karate or special excercises.
