About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Something new each day

ABOUT ME

Hello surfers, I'm a Canadian expat working as an engineer in Brussels. I have a lot of experience being hosted by couch surfers around Europe and North America. Now I am returning the favour to host surfers myself.

Also interested to just meet new people in Brussels.

I live with my partner Tim in a good sized apartment in Brussels (but small by Canadian standards). It's located next to the royal palace and Atomium national monument. We have a spare guest room available with a double bed and desk. We also have a cat so beware if you are allergic.

We are looking to meet new people from around the world so we are opening our home to do so. We are relatively new to Brussels but we are getting to know it so we can provide advice on things to do and places to see. I may even join you! We also have a car so it's possible we could take you to surrounding cities and villages depending on the timing.

We work during the week so hosting on weekends is usually best. Hosting during the workweek may also be possible depending on the timing.

We have no preference in terms of surfers, all interesting people with good stories are welcome! We are also up for food/drinks in the city and good conversations.

As we live a busy life, please try to give us as much notice as you can so we can make your trip as smooth as possible. Don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
James
