About Me

I like wine, beer, good food. Good conversations about deep stuff or just about stupid stuff. Let's share some stories. If they are about traveling, great. If they are about drunken nights, even better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of corona, studies and work I wasn't able to travel a lot the last couple of years. I'd like to start again asap. I'd also like to get to know interesting people!

Interests

I'm probably the biggest contradiction you'll ever meet: I'm a software engineer but try to keep technology out of my daily life as much as possible. I like swimming, mountain biking and hiking but I'm one of the laziest people in my social circle. I love languages, but horrible at learning them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a though one. I have to choose between volcano boarding and a complete day volcano climbing. I think in the end I have to go with volcano boarding. I did this on Cerro Negro in Nicaragua. You basically hike up a semi-active volcano with a wooden board and then get down as fast as possible in a jumpsuit. Dangerous but loads of fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm average cook but will make sure that you won't go hungry. I can teach you Dutch, including some original swear words. I know a bit about beer and Belgium is certainly the right place to try some!
