CURRENT MISSION

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life..

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! :)

My name is Benjamin. I'm 26 years old, living in the oldest city of Belgium, Tongeren. Defenitely worth a visit. I live here with my mom (Regina) and my dog (Yana). I spend my free time with making videos for YouTube as a gaming commentator, some photography and listening and playing music. I also like to do voice overs for commercials. I got a digital piano at home but I dream of having a beautiful grand. There's no digital piano that can beat the sound of a real one. :)

I'm a fun and emotional human being with a good sense of humor. I might be silent at first but that changes quickly. I got a lot of life experience I want to share if needed. I've been through a lot and that has changed me kind of. I started to enjoy the small things: watching the stars or enjoying the red glow of the sunrise. Most of the time I don't like being alone. So I like to spend as much time with my host or surfers as possible. But not when I'm tired from travelling ofcourse. ;)) Good company is always nice though. I'd like to fill most of my days with music. If not with playing piano then listening to my favorite music.

Besides all that, I'm just like you: a nice person that loves to CS and meet other people :))

PHILOSOPHY

Life is life. Take it as it comes. Try to experience everything, even the feelings that are still covered in darkness. I believe that everything fun in life is worth doing. Dancing in the rain, laying in the grass watching the night sky. Enjoy the things that don't cost money. Even watching the moon still gives me the chills every evening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Movie and theatre, music, games, just media in general. Now I keep myself busy with watching movies, spending time with friends, playing games, walk with my dog and fcourse I spend some time here on CS :) I also enjoy sitting up on the roof and talk with a soulmate, or just an interesting person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not much of a reader. Merely watching movies and listening music. A few of my favourite "bands" are Poets of the Fall, Colbie Caillat, Phoenix Effect and Paramore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best things I've done so far: Start again with highschool at 20 years old and manage to finish it at 24. I never thought I would make it.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a piano at home I can learn you how to play! ;) Perhaps I come across other musicians... :)
