About Me

Outgoing friendly bloke with a sense of humour and a open mind towards travelling and hosting people. Love to entertain people, love long intelligent overnight talks and just loves to have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have an extra room for people to crash and love 2 meet new people. The last couple of weeks I've hosted so many different nationalities and every time it's been a unique experience and so much fun. Guiding people through my homecity and taking them out to taste the local culture is amazing.

I want to fill my worldmap with as much nationalities I can:

- Brazil: 4
- Uruguay: 3

Music, Movies, and Books

Music has been my guideline through the ages. I started as a typical punkrock lover during my 'skate-phase' worshipping (and still) bands like Millencolin, Rancid, Turbonegro, Yellowcard, Authority Zero, Alkaline Trio and Rise Against.

As a pokémon evolves I did as well evolving and opening up to more genres. When electronic music came in to my life I hated it, but nowadays I'm a huge EDM lover: house, progressive house, drum&bass, elektro, techno, trance and even hardcore seem a perfect fit to me.

Nevertheless I'm a DJ and a DJ listens to everything. So when you come over, bring your music with u, I always need new experiences/

As a freak of nature, my taste in books and movies is a cocktail of genres as well. My alltime favorite movie is Donnie Darko but I'm a huge sucker for Star Wars, Marvel & Lord of the Rings. I'm a bingewatching netflixer/seriewatcher who can spend hours on Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Heroes, Lost, Breaking Bad,...

I consider myself as a real Ted Mosby, architect

Books I read more often nowadays. I've read all Game of Thrones books and again here fantasy is more than present: Hunger Games, Nightwatch, etc. But then again I love my thrillers and novels: Lord of the Flies, 1984, Great Gatsby, Trainspotting, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtrip through the States. Just take the car and stay with the local people. From La to San Fran, from Yosemite to Las Vegas and from Miami to Key West... B-E-A-utiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a bit of the history of Bruges, I can teach you why Belgian Fries are called French Fries and I teach you how real beer tastes like. I can show you which chocolate is the perfect aphrodisiac and I can take you on a bike ride around the city canals.
