About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing a global tour.

ABOUT ME

I Like to explore and see whats more evolving around the world.
Its taking me quite an effort to put on description about myself as when attributes can be confusing. Conversely, are alot better at listing own faults and failings and can get into task without difficulty. Whats all about me? The voice that continually tell those positive qualities that i might have ...is therefore.. for you to find out.

PHILOSOPHY

live and let live.
you should want what you got, not have what you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Discovering places and people, learning about the beauty of other cultures, for me that is a lot what traveling is about.
Its always that different point of perception when you meet the locals compared to traveling as a typical tourist. Would like to share experience with fellow couchsurfers and gain some insights from them. I have hosted 1 surfer so far, fellow couchsurfers are welcome if they are dropping by Belgium anytime and needed a couch to surf at.
