About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is live life at it's full, stay open for people and opportunities

ABOUT ME

During the past 15 years I spent 3 years working/volunteering in South-America, mostly in animal and nature conservation projects. In Belgium I have been working as a social worker, as a journalist and on organic farms. I love music, literature and paintings. I love meeting up with people and having a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

I respect people who do, but I don't believe in after-life. So I want to live this one as fully as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling around I always loved it as people opened up their heart and house for me. Now, after travelling around for many years I hope to be able to do the same for other travellers. My place is small but big enough to host 1 or 2 persons for a couple of days. Feel welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good!

Interests

I love city-life but sometimes I really need to leave it all behind. In South-America I spend all together more than half a year in the rainforest, six of the most beautiful and memoral months in my life! Living in this western society I take it as an challenge to think indepent and stay close to myself. And enjoy the benefits (concerts, movies, books, people...) of city-life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae, singer-songwriter, gypsy, desert-blues and klezmer... Any live-music played with passion can touch me...

I love movies 'out of the box'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working and living in the rainforest, surrounded with all kind of animals and giant trees definately made a life-long impression on me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very unhandy with practical stuff. I can share some life-experience and I know my city and some of it's nicest places. Every meeting is a learning-opportunity so feel welcome to teach me what you've got ;-)

Countries I’ve Visited
