About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I left everything to go film a documentary in Latin America with my girlfriend Pauline.

ABOUT ME

I traveled quite a lot in the past and I'm back on the roads. This time with Pauline, my girlfriend. We both left our works and flats to do this big travel we were dreaming about. Our goal is to reach latin america, avoiding taking the plane. Hablamos español también, e portugues.

I really enjoy meeting people, learning local dishes, and share travel stories. I'm also always willing to give some photo or ukulele lessons.

We don't need a lot of comfort (we carry our camping equipement).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been doing a lot of 'unofficial' couhcsurfing in the past (we welcomed a lot of travelers in our flat in Brussels and I stayed at people's places during all my travels), so it's the first time I try it with this website.

Interests

Travels, photography, guitar, trekking, climbing, sailing, etc. I love every outdoor activity.

  • photography
  • documentaries
  • dining
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • music
  • guitar
  • camping
  • rock climbing
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading books and watching movies. The books I read are mainly non-fictional literature (on travels, biographies... and politics). I'm always carrying books that I'm happy to share. Regarding the movies I have an eclectic taste. I prefer movies with a great plot and a simple set-up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled on the 5 continents... but it's only a beginning! I climbed to 6088 meters, crossed the Atlantic sailing, scuba dived all around the world. I went from Belgium to Indonesia without taking any plane, and now from Belgium to the US, and hopefully back to Belgium without flying.

Teach, Learn, Share

Photography, guitar, ukulele, languages, etc. I'm open minded and I really enjoy listening to people who have different view on society, politics, religion, than mine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking (cakes, lasagna, asian food, belgian food), travel stories, music...
