Hii I'm Glenn!! I was born in a desolate village in Belgium I was always drawn to the unknown and sparkling city life. However the call af nature is hard to resist so I like to be outdoors as much as I can and see as much of this beautiful world as possible. I cherish my friends deeply, never take them for granted and keep them close. Optimist trying to embrace and not chase happiness, getting my kicks from small things such as good company, sunrise, nice dreams, lots of music, good drinks and silly dances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause travelling is in my blood and already met many loco couch surfers along the way!
