Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we are open to host people or families in our little town, witch is a bit like "forgotten Brugge" ;-)!it has quite a lot of culture, but is small enough to do everything on foot!
it's very near to Brussels too(10min by train) or Antwerp (10 min by train)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have been travelling for 6 months around SEAsia, and the most amazing things we did and saw were uncountable! but most of all the contact with the local people!
we learn a lot from the land itselves, but travelling with children gives us also the opportunity to learn from them, how they deal with changes, and they are a mirror to us to be creative in the way we deal with them and they with us!

Teach, Learn, Share

we like to meet a whole diversity of people, everyone carries his own bag with him/her from which we can learn things!
