CURRENT MISSION

continue the inner and outher journey of life

ABOUT ME

So much and so little to tell as every moment of life we have the chance to rewrite our history and to start over again.
After more than 20 years I interrupted my career (whatever that means!?), went through an intense internal and spiritual process and since then I live focussed on the values of life which really matter to me: sincerity, charity, obligingness, thankfulness, in respect for creation, faith, etc.
No, no, I'm not an angel, not at all. But I can always try to become one (haha)
I try to remain open and confident to every new challenge, opportunity, encounter in my life. You won't find me easily in crowded and noisy happenings
as I enjoy rather silence and personal encounters. I like to 'meet' the real person in front of me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift as it has been given to us. It's up to us to make the best out of it in respect to the creation itself and in respect to ourselves and the people around us. All our talents as well as our defects will show us the way we have to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not really an international traveler anymore but I'm interested in finding a sleeping place from time to time when I have activities in other cities in Belgium.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As soon as I subscribed I hosted Bram, a very kind young man for a few nights. A very interesting experience. After that I got busy with other things and I couldn't really host anyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first meeting with Mata Amritanandamayi (mother Amma) in the Netherlands and my trip to her ashram in Kerala - south of India.
