About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet as many new people and places as physically possible

ABOUT ME

I'm a 30 year old guy, I've lived in Belgium (Kortrijk, Brussels, Leuven), Germany (Heidelberg), China (Shanghai, Wuhan), France (Grenoble) and am currently back living and working in good-old Brussels.

PHILOSOPHY

very relaxed, there is plenty of time and there are very few things in life worth stressing over :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host a lot more than I surf on other people's couches, because my travels are too unpredictable for CS, I can never decide on anything in advance.
I love hosting people in Brussels because it gives me a travelling feeling even during weeks where I have to go to work :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any couchsurfing experience really! I only just signed up. I usually stay in hostels or with international friends of mine when travelling
UPDATE: Well I do have some hosting experience now and I love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in naturally hot water in Iceland; travelling on my own through Italy for what was supposed to be a few days but ended up being 2 months; living in Germany and finding out that if you speak Dutch with a German accent, everyone there will understand you; road-tripping through California with some of my best friends
