Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
as Host
I live near the centre of Ghent. Its 15 min walk to the centre and with the bus (busstop is just around the corner) it takes 5 min.

I like to meet some new people, show them the nice things here in ghent and also like to take them out (anywere..when/if possible)

If they like, i can cook all sorts of traditional Belgian dishes

I've hosted people from UK, Spain, Netherlands, Letvia, Australia,...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in Beijing, just before the Olympics started...amzing to see all those people,...

By traveling in europe i saw its amazing how many different cultures and nature we have. I hate what ploitics can say and do, cause my experience is, that we have nice people everywhere

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very curious about other peoples habits.
I believe if you learn about the diffrence of the other you learn more about yourself and the world. I think you learn to have more respect.
