About Me

CURRENT MISSION

let's make this world a better place !

ABOUT ME

former trumpetyoghurt with smurf in world music, jazz and visual arts is sure that laughter is a basic need - broad human intrest - i like movement (anything with g-forces, turns, fysics, balance, coordination, wheels), salsa. Enjoy cooking with veggies : specialty : fast & fresh! Very positive and hIghly AddIctive expEriences : just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

Other people have my respect and trust from the start. It's not something you have to earn, but of course you can loose it by doing very naughty things.
"Allways look at the bright side of life ", at least, I try to
"Be that change you want in the world"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

how i got here?
Winter 2008: On a big night out, I met a friend of a friend. Partying beyond the last public transport (wich isn't difficult in Leuven), i offered him a bed for the night(otherwise the poor bastard had to wait for the morning train in the freezing cold). He happened to be a couch-surfer and recommended me this site ! (and i still can't thank him enough for that)
