About Me

####################
# BELGIAN PHILOSOPHY
####################

Belgium is a small country but very complicated. The country is split into three regions and three communities, where people speak French, Dutch or German which sometimes lead to some astonishing situations. For instance, we broke the record for the world's longest time without a government (535 days, old record: 249 days in Irak). In this context, (almost) every Belgian people has learned to take everything philosophically as we say in French. This means with patience, peacefully, with a pinch of humor. This the way I go: always look on the bright side of life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOAtCOsNuVM).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

✔ I have a couple of experience with couchsurfers in US, France and Belgium (hosting). Each encounter was different and a rewarding experience.

✔ I have very good memories (and some good stories) with couchsurfing.

✔ It is a perfect way to meet local people and discover a place from the point of view of its inhabitants.

Music, Movies, and Books

My last book was Sapiens and I am now digging into Guns, Germs, and Nations from Jared Diamond. I really like world history book.

I use to play guitar in a "boys band". It was essentially for fun but I enjoyed the experience. I still play sometimes but for myself.
