PHILOSOPHY

There is no God but you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since our house is full of people all the time anyway, we might just as well expand it to the international community. We're busy people, we can't be full time tour guides but we'll do our best to give you an authentic warm Gent welcome !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing but good experiences so far.
