About Me

Hi,

My name is Jan. I'm currently living in a small village in Belgium close to the border of Holland and Germany.
As I'm currently working in Holland I'm quite used to crossing borders :)
I like meeting new people and cultures. I've been traveling quite a bit the past years (holiday and business)
If there is anything you want to know, just let me know! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While travelling I stayed at a lot of different places, from the luxury of hotels to "cheap-cheap homestays" but Couchsurfing I've never done before. Apart from gaining the experience I'd also like to welcome guests at my place and show some of the hidden beauties of Belguim and it's surroundings.

Regarding movies I can say the same thing actually

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live on my own in a house in the north-east of Belgium close to the borders of Holland and Germany.
Usually (depending on some renovation work) I have at least one free room that I can offer.

I travel a bit for business as well so my schedule isn't the easiest, but we'll be able to figure something out :)

Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States
