Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I both like to host and to surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first discovered CS, i thought it was the perfect way to travel on a low budget, and it is off course. But when I started surfing, i realized CS is actually about other things. It's about exchanging experiences and creating friendships between people who think alike. The CS idea of helping out somebody without wanting anything material in return, is very beatiful. The relation between a host and the surfer is a special thing for me.

I've couchsurfed a lot two summers ago. I've been travelling with a friend from Istanbul to St Petersburg and on the road we met so many lovely people because of CS. I'd love to see them all back in Belgium once.

Interests

-Having a beer with friends
-Travelling, obviously. We live on such a beautiful planet, it would be a waste to stay at home.

-Languages: i'm trying Russian at the moment. When i'm travelling i try to remember some usefull words in every language. So teach me some!
