About Me

Hey there!

When I need to describe myself briefly, I usually say that I’m a young fitness coach that is curious and passionate about (close to) everything that relates to humans and movements. I’m a multi passionate dude that loves a vast amount of things - as long as those things make us a little bit better everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Past in 2017, I used it during a one week trip across California. Using it for the first time, CouchSurfing helped me find a place to stay every nights but most importantly, helped me build unforgettable memories and deep bonds with my hosts (I used a different account back then). It’s truly a great plateforme to help each other up and create great connections with foreigners. I’m therefore mainly using it when I’m in need during travels, to meet new people and sharing a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: about everything. Little preference for deep house and funky style groove. Favourite song is “Superstition - Stevie Wonder”.
Books: usually ready self-help books in order to unlock new insights about myself, the word and how we live/behave/think/act as humans.
Movies: usually action or Science Fiction. My favorite movie is “I’m a robot - Will Smith”
Podcast: you can often find myself emerge in a podcast where great conversations are discussed around great topics, usually with great people too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on a 10 months trip after high school to discover USA and Central America while being 18yo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach, learn and share pretty much everything I do. I love touching to different modalities but fitness, health, wellness and movement is alway at the chore of my activities.
As a fitness coach, those three concepts are always at the chore of how I see the world and interact with fellow enthusiasts. Learning and listening from others, while sharing common themes, thoughts and emotions is so profound and valuable to me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to exchange and to know them better through deep and meaningful conversations. Around a warm cup of coffee in the morning, a lovely meal I’d love to cook or around a good glass of red wine, I’d love to listen to your own experience and exchanging with my own personal stories, the culture and country I’m from (Belgium) and hopefully spend a great time overall. You can expect from me to be very respectful of your place, highly authentic and thrust-worthy. I’ll always make sure to bring something to the table in order to thank you for your kindness and for sharing your own private place.
