CURRENT MISSION

Even if you meet someone for a moment, this moment can last for a lifetime! To see and meet a lot of people, to smell the different cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a modest, honest guy who try to bring some humour in the world although I'll always pay attention and respect to the people I meet. I really like to meet different people and to speak to them in their language if I'm abroad.

"Venid hasta el bordo, les dijo
-Tenemos miedo, podríamos caer
Venid hasta el bordo les dijo, Ellos fueron
Los empujó....y volaron"

Just a phrase I saw in Salamanca which me gustaba mucho. It's great to discover new people, cultures and languages.

Even if you meet someone for a moment, this moment can last for a lifetime!

PHILOSOPHY

To respect everyone, to make people happy and to learn from all the people I'll meet during my journeys. And to have some fun! And of course my favourite Dutch proverb:'"It's better to have one bird in the hand than no hand." Or the story that the glass is always at least half-full ( or ready to be refilled!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to Martin, Carlos and Carolina, I had some great first moments in Argentina and Uruguay. The first CS-experiences were very good so hope now to let other people enjoy the benefit of the CS-system! And to join others abroad too!
Fortunately Carlos came to Europe and I could host him for a couple of days. Great to show him around. And in the meantime I shared a lot of other good memories with CS people all around.

Interests

Languages ( French, Spanish, Italian ), to read books, newspapers and magazines to practise those languages.
Nature, hiking, Arts, photography, theatre, culture in general, nice museums. I really love to go to small towns to see the local life over there.
Football!

I work as a journalist who tries to inform about culture and travelling for a newspaper and for a footballmagazine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just came back from a journey through South-America where I shook hands with Evo Morales, Présidente de Bolivia!

Teach, Learn, Share

Still a lot to learn and happy to learn by meeting different people form all kind of countries.
