I am a young man (34 is still considered as young right!?) from Belgium. I grew up in the French speaking part of the country, hence French is my mother tongue. I studied IT/Telecom in Paris and then move to work in London. I stayed 5 years in UK and then took some time off to go to French Guiana for two months holidays. I found myself staying there for five years, mostly working days in days out. I really enjoyed my work there, traveling all over the Amazon but I feel like going back to the homeland now. So I am on my way but not taking the shortest path (yet a bit too cold in Belgium!).

I think I am a quiet and respectful person, interested in meeting new people and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS to try to get in touch with the locals, no one knows the place better! I am new to this, I usually meet people as I go but a friend recommend me to give it a try.

Interests

I like simple things in life: love, family, friendship, food, drinks (good beer, I am belgian hey!), sports, yoga, outdoors, gardening, ...

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read but I have been working days in days out lately and also spending too much time on-line! My kindle is full of book I'd like to read like:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying over the Amazon rain forest in helicopter at sunset.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, that is meant to be!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am currently traveling and the only thing I have is my bag so I cannot host people. I am especially interested in learning languages at the moment, so I am happy to help with French (mother tongue) or English (fluent but with the French accent).
I love gardening and DIY (electricity, plumbing, ...)
