ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a sports commentator for a national TV Network in Belgium. Besides sports my other passions are cinema and theater. These two I also studied at Antwerp University.

In my spare time I try to play something that looks like field hockey. But mostly you can find me with several of my friends in a bar in Antwerp.

PHILOSOPHY

The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences. (Michael McCandless in "Into the wild")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When my brother and I were visiting New York, we didn't plan to surf some couches. But only a few days we were leaving for the big apple, our hostel send us the lovely message that they were shut down for a couple of weeks.So one of my friends recommended CS, and I must say it was great. Thanks to our hosts we saw much more of the city and had loads of memorable nights in New York.
