ABOUT ME/US

I Couch surfed a lot in the past but nowadays I host most of the times.
Password:’fairytale’
Traveling is my life and this combined with my passion and hobby is the ultimate. Meet new people is a positive side effect of couch surfing and travel. Every person has a story and I'd like to hear everything about it.
PHILOSOPHY
Be yourself. Do what you want and if you really want something, you can do it, you can reach your goal. It is not what it is it's what you do with it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I traveled from Belgium to Russia by train. In each country I met some people and couchsurfed with them. It was a lot of fun and once I will do this again (but to other countries). I CS in Spain, France, Australia, NZ and the Netherlands as well. It's a Great way to explore new cultures.
Interests
I'm very interested in news, Soccer, photography, art and culture. Just about everything actually... We read a lot and I can not imagine a life without music. We LOVE food: preparing it and eating it. Discovering new places and cultures and making new friends is what we try to do as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books
I do not know very much about movies, but my girlfriend does. I read a lot, fiction and non fiction. We do have a lot of books at our home. Most of Them in Dutch, we're sorry. We also have a vintage turntable! I often listen to Dutch music and golden oldies, but have much more in my collection.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
1 is not enough: Moscow and the Karhunkieros in Lapland (Finland) were great! New Zealand and Australia. The Camino: walking from The Netherlands to Santiago de Compostela (Muxia), in Spain and walking 'De dodentocht', a hike of 100km within 24 hours.
