About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get a diploma :p

ABOUT ME

About me..
Hmm, the best way to describe me is over enthusiastic and a bit loud sometimes, trying to be social as much as possible and I live to meet new people and travel. I've come down with a serious case of FOMO over the past few years, so it's hard for me to say no to anything that seems like fun ^^
I dislike pictures of myself, but it's OK if it's with other people in them too :p
Ow and I love to laugh :D

If you want to see some more pics, you can always check out my Insta: @samynben :)

PHILOSOPHY

"If you want it, you'll find a way.
If not, you'll find an excuse."

I have a hard time saying no, I always want to do it all. The problem with that is that I plan too much in a day and arrive late everywhere, but at least I get to do a lot of fun stuff that way.
Trying to live life to its fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've know this service for quite a while now but could never really participate actively because I still live with my parents. I was very eager to try this out because I've heard so many positive things about this. When I finally did, it was an awesome experience every time!
At first I was afraid of travelling all by myself, but now I can't wait to go on my next tip, you meet all these awesome people from around the globe.
Really hope to be able to host couchsurfers myself in a couple of years, when I get a place of my own.

Interests

Technology, design (but don't go asking me about names and anything specific, I just like original/fresh concepts), (concept) cars, travelling, sports (if someone gets me off my butt:p), gadgets, music, reading, movies, partying, a cozy movie night with friends, ...

Pretty open to any suggestion, I tend to go with the flow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: check my list on imdb, the movies I that I've seen, could recall, and (mostly) think were good: http://www.imdb.com/list/Fn6KII9N9AU/

As you can see: I like a lot of styles, same goes for music..
I like to search on the internet (blogs, soundcloud, youtube, ...) for un-/less- known music or just listen to mainstream music, depends on the mood :p

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There isn't "this one amazing thing" to me: I love doing all sorts of small random stuff, meeting people and just let them take me places they like or think I should see.

However, if I'd have to name one thing I'd go with going surfing in Korea, in the pouring rain, during a typhoon with a hangover :p

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not sure how this works, but I've heard that you can thank a host by bringing something from your country or cook some typical dish. Since I won't be able to carry around beer bottles for weeks I'll just try to read up on typical Belgian food :p
