ABOUT ME
I can host from now on 1 person in a nice room.
Got the power to meet up with people, bring them together and let it flow and go for the outmost of it!
Linking and looking to many areas of improving myself and out of previous experiences live to the full from now on...You don't know how strong you are...until what's left is being strong!
If, is always an open thought!
Yes, I sing in a topsy turvy choir "De Valse Teefjes" Ghent, Flandres and abroad!
I was a Lindy Hop dancer!
PHILOSOPHY
Love mother Earth; animals as favorites dogs, otters and pangolins!
Wir sollten manchmal einfach das tun, was uns
"glücklich macht", und nicht das, was vielleicht am bestens is.
Live the life to the full and sharing the good vibes.
Got the mind open to a natural and a ecological way of living.
Can't cope with industries whom are poisoning mostly our planet.
I'm open to be conscious for less fortunate people to help.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
If you are looking to come to Belgium (which is a damned good idea since we have the best beer, chocolate and french fries in the world... according to many ;)), than the city of Ghent is most certainly one of the most interesting cities to stop at!
Though the city is internationally seen less famous as Brussels, Bruges or Antwerp, it is a city that is known as the most alternative city of the country and the atmosphere is always chill and people just love life here! On top of that you have a historic center which competes easily with Bruges but the plus is you also have a mix of more modern style and you have way more chance to meet up with locals and you can avoid the overpopulation of tourist groups ;)
By couchsurfing,
Always happy meetings with the CS people and the places of events! See you on the flipside!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
