Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i havent been in belgium to long now..... been back for about a year.... so belgium isn't going to be my strong side here.... i could however help anyone out with tips or information about countries in south america (people with visiting plans for instance)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

im am DEFFINETELY a movie FREAK... if yor ever at my house u WILL be amazed at the amount of movies i have.... im not even gonna start naming favorites:p

then the music..... i could listen to anything..... iespecially enjoy techno (no jump) and rock..... pretty broad spectrum i know but hey...

if i had to choose a favorite band it would without a doubt be Linkin Park.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

one of the most amazing things i've ever seen was a baracuda fish (at LEAST 1 meter long) swim through my legs in Bonnaire..... AMAMZING and most deffinetely UNFORGETABLE (to bad the underwater camera pics didnt come out to good :( )
