I live in a quiet little town called Diest and work in Brussels (Belgium). I regularly travel to Asia, Thailand and Cambodia more precisely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my first CS-experience in 2009, I've never wanted to travel without it anymore. Since then, I have been surfing and hosting on many occasions and always kept great memories about it.

- Climbing the summit of an active volcano : Villarica in Chile (in the company of a bullying mountain guide)
- Being offered a glass of wine, sweets, cheese and sausages by a Sicilian restaurant keeper in Siracusa, Sicilia for free (he felt sorry for us it was raining)
- Visiting a Thai zoo and feeding milk to a baby tiger (it showed out to be a good preparation, but Oscars paws fortunately are smaller)
- Hiking on the island of Texel (NL) and discovering that the sea was chopped up in large chunks of salty ice (then again, it was -15°C / 5°F)
- Volunteering in the protection of pristine forest in Cambodia
