ABOUT ME

I am a film graduate from Belgium, who has lived in Hungary for two years. Curious for new things & new people. Friendly, open-minded, relaxed, caring, hard-working, exploring, creating. Trying not to get uncomfortable when complimenting myself like this.

I live together with my girlfriend Ruut in Helsinki. She is a literature student. As we both enjoy traveling and getting to know other cultures, we are particularly interested in languages, film, art and YOUR culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing, caring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a very pleasant Couchsurfing experience in 2009 in NYC when I was travelling with a friend-Couchsurfer to two very nice people who were also signed in to Couchsurfing.org. This convinced me to sign up: I'd like to have more encounters of this kind, allowing me to travel and discover cities in a more personal way. In return, I wish to host people who are looking for a same kind of experience in Helsinki.
