CURRENT MISSION

Live life

ABOUT ME

I’m Jan, 28, male and Belgian. I graduated as a bio-engineer, performed a PhD in Brussels, worked at the University of Tübingen for 7 months and since the 1st of June I'm working as a postdoc in Amsterdam.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life!

On the bike: Pedal damn it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Provide couches (when I have one), show people around, take them on mountainbike and cycling tours, prepare them good food if they need it, bring them to Belgium if they want to,…

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not through this website, but traveled a lot and provided my couch to many friends

Interests

I love traveling, sports, nature and just being outside! I’m always eager to meet new people and I have to admit it; I’m addicted to mountainbiking. So cyclers and mountainbikers are very welcome!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: ‘Hanna’, just saw it and it’s great! Tarantino stuff, nothing specific though.

Music: different kinds but I try to promote good Belgian groups to foreigners.

Books: The mountain biker training bible by Joe Friel (I told you I’m addicted to mountainbiking)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A recent one: Float around in a big truck tube on the Mekong, enjoying the sunset near Don Det (4000 Islands, Laos).

Teach, Learn, Share

I just moved to the Netherlands so I have to get to know this country better as well. Eager to take people on a cycle trip.
Want to see the world and meet interesting people (yet, I’m not sure how to define ‘interesting’).
