Hello, nice to meet ya,

My name is Basiel, im a 30 yo belgian industrial designer currently in Bali.
Things that make me happy: making others happy, eating healthy, cooking, gardening, rock climbing, diving, surfing, tramping, fishing, design ( mechanical engineering, graphic, ,websites,...), yoga, have a laugh, have a chat, have drink, dance ... or just hang out and relax.

I’m eco minded with a big heart for the planet and all its beings.
I wanna try to get to know more local people and their way of life, learning some of the local language would be amazing.
I love connecting, sharing experiences, stories, food,...

I'm a gentle, tidy guy with an open mind.
Al of my life i've been a passionate rock climber who also loves the sea.
99% vegetarian, 100% original.

I'll be here for at least 3 months and always happy to catch up and make new friends.

Looking forward to meet ya !

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste is music ranges from jazz, classical, rock, punk rock, hiphop, trip hop, soul, funk, disco, house, deep house, techno, meditational music, world music, anything that sounds good to be honest.

Movies, yes, i love a good complicated plot that's not to obvious. Thrillers, drama, sci-fi once in a while, environmental documentaries, Indie.

Books, lately i've been leaning more to the informational books, i've been reading about the history of buddism, about the socio economic evolution of humans in Sapiens of Yuval Noah Harari, about lucid dreaming in the fieldguide to lucid dreaming, etc.
