About Me

I see myself as an open, adventurous, sensitive and warm person. I'd like to experience and feel life from all possible angles and perspectives, never with a sense of judgement. I have a sense for reality but that does not keep myself away from getting lost in completely random corners of the world and dream away. When I’m amongst people I feel like i’m on my best in a cheerful and optimistic, high on life company. For that reason I will always try to contribute to a nice, honest, funny yet always forgiving atmosphere myself. What eventually really matters to me is how to make this world a better place, day by day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in Brussels and I have a good couch available. Everyone who's in desperate or non-desperate need of a place to stay in Brussels, can send me a message. Although I'm not always able to host people, each request will be read. I consider myself as a lucky and fortunate individual who has had the opportunity to travel a lot and reach out to different parts of the world. In order to keep my carbon footprint as low as possible, i decided to travel more local and host the world in my place.

Interests

I work for a poverty organization in Brussels but besides that I`d love to sport and stretch every part of my body. I like to play tennis (even teaching!), run, swim, draw, travel, get to know local traditions,watch anime/movies, read manga, novels, fantasy going to techno clubs and eventually doing absolutely nothing and never be bored! Apart from that i also try to spend some time to improve my mental cognitive state and try to practice tibetan buddhism daily. I am a huge fan of the dalai lama and he is defenitely a role-model to me.
