About Me

ABOUT ME

Living and working in Melbourne for almost two years now. Before that I was living in Dubai for four years, NYC for about a year.
I am interested in art, culture, politics, philosophy, history,...
Being a Belgian I like to drink a good beer, but I (almost) never say no to a good glass of wine, or a good whiskey. I also like food, eating as well as cooking. I think there is nothing I dont like (i will at least try it) and I love desserts.
In my free time you will often find me in a bar, gym, in the theatre, ... Or hanging out in the city, discovering it by walking, and taking a good espresso from time to time.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life the way you do, and not the way they told you to

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im trying to host people when I can. I actually did it more outside of CS, eg for Local Exchange Trade System or for international exchange programs. I used to have friends over all the time when they would come to my city for festivals or parties.
I also like to show people around in the city where I live, or to meet for a beer (of course!) :-)
