Hi !

My name is Jeremy, I'm a 28 active backpacker from Belgium. After working for 2 years in a big web-marketing company, I did what most people dream about but never dare to do, I quit my job to travel. I had been working and traveling around Australia for nearly 2 years before travelling around South-East Asia for a bit more than 6 months with my girlfriend, met while volunteering in Australie.
I gotta say that Australia It was my first big solo adventure and this is where I discovered CS which allowed me to meet so many Aussies people who brought me so much !

It's quite hard to summarize 2 years and a half of travels and life experiences in a short text but I'll give it a go.

I split my time in Australia between working hard and epic roadtrips around the West coast, the South and eventually the popular East Coast. I met dozens and dozens of awesome people along my way but a key moment was definitely my month of volunteering in a kangaroo's sanctuary. A life changing experience. For the experience itself, but also cause this is where I met Theresa, a shy German girl who has been "enduring" me for nearly a year now..
We since then traveled in Asia exploring countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Sri Lanka etc..

We then came back home for a few months. I worked on a blog and developed my Instagram (which I'm a big fan of too (https://www.instagram.com/jeremybackpacker/).
We're about to go back to Sri Lanka together for a month. Then she has to go back for her studies and I'm heading to New Zealand for a year at least.
I'm excited cause my favorite part of Australia was the West coast, the wildest most stunning part. So I guess New Zealand should be a perfect fit for me !

About me, I'm down to earth person, open-minded, helpful and keen to share good stories and laughs whilst enjoying a cold fresh beer (I'm from Belgium after all eh)! I discover so much about myself while traveling. That's why I think traveling is the best form of education. I think I can say with confidence that traveling made me more open minded, independent, responsible and I value life and good times way more than before.

feel free ton contact me :)

Cheers,

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Several reasons, I wanted to try backpackers hostels. I did, this is a intense experience which allows me to meet tons of new people from all around the world.
I also decided to try CS for the first time in Australia, and my first hosts made this a unbelievable experience. I kept in touch with them since then and Aussies people are that kind of people that makes me love Australia even more!
I also think CS is probably one of the way to learn about a city and get used to it (way better than a guidebook or so).
Been living in a sharehouse in Perth for 5 months, I'm very social and always try to make things work. I'm very independent and very tidy person but I like to spend some time with my host when he/she gets the chance to !

I love the spirit that couchsurfing involves and wanna keep spreading it.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Beers, travelling stories, beers and beers I guess.

Still learning to surf whenever i get the chance too !

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I'm kinda easy going, I like to make people laugh, when I get along with someone I like to be sarcastic most of the time. I like to talk about life, travels, different way to lives than the basic studies>job>familly routine.
I'm 27, which means I'm responsible and independent and can pretty much adapt myself to any kind of situations (or I can try my best at least haha). I tend to get along more and more with people around my age or older than with 20's, getting kinda old I guess, what can I do about it ?
I can share beers aswell.
