CURRENT MISSION

Break out of my comfort zone, broaden my horizons, and meet as many people as possible while at it...

ABOUT ME

I am by nature a relaxed and easy going person, who is very interested in people and enjoys a good talk with a beer. Apart from writing scripts for movies - which is my main occupation - my passions lie in music, theater, literature, football (soccer) and of course traveling. Except for Oceania I've been in all of the continents, and these wanderings learned me that I want to leave Belgium in the future to try to live somewhere else (Beijing or Los Angeles for example), to try something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't always choose the easy way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a spacious house with a spare room, so it's perfect for receiving travelers for couchsurfing. I also see hosting as an opportunity to broaden my global network and keep traveling even when I'm at home :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered couchsurfing in Russia, where me and my friends were hosted four times. It was then that I realized that it's the ideal way of traveling, because you meet a lot of social people, who often introduce you to the city and show you many places you would otherwise never find. And in addition it's a very budget-friendly way of finding accommodation.
