I'm a teacher in Ghent and I would describe myself as an easygoing, sociable and enthusiastic guy. I love travelling, surfing, languages and meeting people from all over the world, just sitting down and sharing a drink with them, enjoying the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and speaking foreign languages ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Spain (Bilbao) last year to learn Spanish and to surf. I lived with two amazing Spanish people by the sea, went on regular surf & hiking trips, learned the language and got to know the culture and amazing people!

Another thing I did there was doing a drop with a skateboard in a skate bowl. Not very impressive, I know, but I used to be terrified of the idea ever since I fell really bad trying to do it when I was a kid. So recently, I mustered up my courage and after a lot of sweat dripping from my back, I made the drop, con dos cojones!

Otherwise, legendary surfing & camping trips to Morocco, Portugal, France & Spain with friends! Erasmus in Ireland was amazing as well!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about Belgium's history, culture and music if you're interested (probably not). I can teach some drawing or painting if you like as well. I love learning about other cultures and will definitely share beers with whoever's interested!
I can teach you how to surf (not that I'm that great at it, but I like to pretend)
I'm learning Spanish (and finally getting good enough at it to have lengthy conversations), so if you speak Spanish, you're more than welcome to correct my many mistakes!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humor of the stupidest, silliest kind & love for music and culture. I am also an expert in mediocre cuisine.
