About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building up , ... raising our daughter, finishing the works on our home, getting my own firm started besides my dayjob, enjoying life with my lovedones in the meantime.

ABOUT ME

I'm going through life as a positive and ambitious person, with my own qualities and defaults. I want the best for me and others which can be positive and challenging sometimes. I can work hard but certainly enjoy a nice layed down vibe from time tot time.

PHILOSOPHY

Living kills you, so you might as wel make the most of it while it's happening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been surfing abroad some times or meeting up with other CS'ers while travelling.I've organised a few small meetings in Leuven, but that isn't so easy anymore since I've moved farther away from this city to a smaller town uninteresting for any travellers unless they like Witlof... , if anyone knows what it is anyway. We have hosted some people in our previous house but so far nobody here in our new place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed at Esthers place in East Berlin, spent christmas eve with her and her friends in a nice little bar. Walking home at 5 am got me a cold the next day. Very nice people and a great way to spend christmas away from home. thx guys

I was hosted by the lovely Lidia in Sofia, Bulgaria. Had a good laugh and good party. After we spent a week at Serdars place in Istanbul. He and his girlfriend were just perfect hosts to us.

Made a good start from the first experience and met many good people through CS on other trips
