CURRENT MISSION

Dream and achieve.

ABOUT ME

I'm crazy twice a year, unfortunately it lasts six months.
Likes the nice things in life : tasty restaurant (or home made food) & traveling : meeting new cultures & people, and new experiences.
I attend art-galleries, theatres and concerts (preference for classical music).
I studied in the past clarinet, a bit of church organ and sang in a choir (bass).
People say that I am respectful, confident, honest, easy going, loyal, friendly, considerate and optimistic person, kind and curious, decent, good sense of humor (at least my friends tell me).
YES : my moustache is real :-)

PHILOSOPHY

- Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm : go, go, GO !!

- If life gives you lemon, make lemonade.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch !

My city is an alternative place to stay for Brussels (30-35 min by train) : if you would be in Brussels, it might take you longer to go to the city center by bus / tram / train / metro, depending on where you are and have to be.

Traintable on the railway website

Tienen is known for :
- it's sugar factory (Sugarmuseum)
- the yearly local rock music festival (Sugarrock)
- museum ('t Toreke) : Gallo-Roman tresors.

In the next village :
- the brewery of the famous beer called "Hoegaarden"
- The Gardens of Hoegaarden
