CURRENT MISSION

Cycling through Asia for 1 year

ABOUT ME

Male, 39 years old and starting to get bald.
Don't have children but 1 weekend a month Jait, 14 already, living in a home, spends a weekend at my place.
I'm told not to be the stereotypical accountant.

Currently living out my dream to cycle for 1 year in Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel most happy if I can help out others. I sold my car 2 years back being tired of traffic jams and decided to bicycle my way through life. Faster, less pollution and healthier.
Carpe Diem! Seize the day! Pluk de dag!
Like to go out, just having a beer with friends and sometimes even dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a new member but couch surfing is not new to me at all. Many travellers surfed at my place, having met before when traveling in Morocco or just when walking around in Brussels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed my first time in Xi'an in China at Jennifer's place for 3 nights.
