ABOUT ME

We're wacky, crazy people. Seriously, you need a touch of insanity if you book a couch with us, but we'll make the time worthwhile, we goto compensate the weather in Belgium you know...

We are founding an organisation called Open Minded in Belgium, want to know more? Believe you are Open Minded? Oh then stop doubting and send us a message, we live together (not a couple if you'd wonder :)) in a nice 'couchy' house with enough space to give you a relatively luxurious stay.

Now Open Minded?
It means we are open to any:
- Sexual preference
- Gender identity (transgenderism)
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- ...
Basically: it means we'll adapt.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep you mind, wide open.
Heho, be you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yesterday on the bus a girl jumped of her seat, helped an old lady sit down and almost fell doing so...

Well miracles are everywhere.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to learn about cultures (language, food, habits, history, religion, ...) about visions of life ...

What we can teach you? An over-healthy portion of crazyness, how to keep your mind; wide open, ...
A bit about Belgium and well... it's weather (though this you might experience the minute you set foot in Belgium) It's political system (yes we do have 4 prime ministers) and the number of times the government has fallen (well one of the 4) the past 3 years...
