CURRENT MISSION

let some people stay at my place

ABOUT ME

I study in Ghent ( a place you should see and the 3th most authentic city of the world! (national geographic travellers guide. Here's a nice video of my city http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc39fjh6hnM&feature=player_embedded) ) and live very close to it in Oostakker.
My hobby is listening, to people, to stories and most of all to music. I listen to most kinds of music: jazz, pop, rock, indie, postrock, folk, blues, experimental, classical and whatever else that's good.

PHILOSOPHY

He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In april 2010 I met the band Balmorhea. They still needed a bed for 2 members of the group. It turned out into a wonderful experience, we had a great evening. I wanted to do this more often so started travelling through couchsurfing.
