Hi all,

I'm Hadrien, 22. Just came back from a backpacking trip of nine months and I live in Brussels now. To be short I hitchiked fom Belgium to the Caribean Islands and stayed there for 5 months to live the coconut life ! haha
I grew up here, in Brussels so I know the city verry wel. I like to practice sports like, kitesurf, Muay Thaï and Rock climbing. I live at 100m meters of one of the best Belgian indoor rock climbing club. We can go anytime for a climbing session if you guy's want to.
Just know I have a busy shedule in the week so I can not really party or hang out late. At midnight I'll be sleeping. During the weekend I can show you brussels around especialy if you like the Nightlife. I've been a cocktail bartender for 3 and a half years so I know some cool places to have a drink or a real party if we feel like it.
To finish on something artistic, if you're a rapper or musician i'll be happy to kick it with you. I've been rapping for some time and i'm always open for some new music

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I take pleasure in sharing my place. It makes it more alive and when I spend time with people on holliday it wakes up the same holliday pleasure in me ! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From far away, my 9 months hitchiking trip accros the Atlantic ocean and in the carribean ( all by saling boat). I sailed from Belgium trough all the West-Coast of europe to Lisboa. From there to Cape Verde trough Madeira and the Canary Islands where I stayed for 2 and a half months. Crossed the atlantic and landed in Martinique. Worked there as a bartender to make some money and spent 2 months in the Grenadine Islands before coming back to martinique and continue north to Guadeloup. I visited "Les Saintes" and "Marie galante" before I once more moved to martinique. I had to take 8 different boats to travel that far ! But now the time was coming for me to take it a step further. I became Captain for the first time of my life. I took the bar of a big 40ft Catamaran to go once more to The Grenadine Islands. One full week. The concept was crazy !!! We were 500 medecine students (already graduaded but studying a speciality) on 50 different catamarans and sailed together from Island to Island having a big party every night on each Island. It was so fun cause we were the party ! most of the time we were on deserted Islands with coconuts, sand and the moon as unique spectators. Had a really great time out there. Bt that was the end of my trip. I'm back in Brussles now preparing my real escape haha ! I hope I can leave and start my real life somewhere on an Island. I know I'm born to live a lifelong adventure :)
