About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I try to understand the world

ABOUT ME

I find it difficult to write about myself.

I'm an easy going, calm guy, who enjoys life.
I like to see new places and meet new people.

My friends say that I talk too much ;-)
I don't smoke, I like to drink, but without exagerration.

I'm a night person. I may function during the day but even if I'm moving around, talking and doing things I don't really wake up until the evening. At least my brain usually doesn't.

So if you want to know more, just feel free to ask.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect for every conviction.
Live life as if it was your last day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

TO MY WOULD-BE HOSTS: I like to spend as much time as possible with my hosts (otherwise I'd go to a hotel), but I'm also a grown-up boy and I can take care of myself, if you're working, I definitely don't need a babysitter. I'm not the kind of guest who comes back home late, has a shower and goes to bed. I do love dinner and after-dinner moments when some time can possibly be spent together. If you like, I can cook some typical Belgian dishes for you. I don't expect my host to cook for me. I'm happy with eating out, but if we eat in, I'll be glad to help in the kitchen, wash dishes, pay for food, and the like.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some people from all over the world, it was a wonderfull and enriching experience and I hope to continue this for a very long time.
