About Me

I'm currently studying to become a teacher (French & English), hoping to be able to travel a lot (and if possible also work there as a teacher, hence the languages).
I like the sea (born and raised by the North Sea), all kinds of watersports.
Oh I'm also a kitesurf instructor, which is nice to find a job when I travel and it gives me the opportunity to spend some time in a country and earn some money at the same time.
I guess I'm easy going, not the typical boring English/French teacher...

Now living in Ghent (awesome city), not always able to accept guests because I'm studying, but always up for meeting/showing around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Easy way of meeting like-minded people, though I don't put enough effort into it...

Interests

A lot... It goes from painting/drawing 'till quantum physics.
Not saying I'm good at either of those, but they do interest me.

Oooh yes, I'm very much into all kinds of boardsports, kitesurfing, snowboarding, wake, skate, surf, that's about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dave Brubeck, Chet Baker, Bob Dylan, SOJA, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Johnny Cash, Beatles, pearl Jam, pink Floyd, ... Need I go on?...

French classics such as proust, Camus, Voltaire, Zola, also French poetry.
Big fan of Goethe, Kerouac, Marquéz, Huxley, Hawking, E.A. poe, Orwell, Bukowski...

As for movies, I like them very much, but I usually only watch them when someone asks me to. Big flaw, I know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling alone through Canada by skateboard for 5 months. It was awesome, met a ton of great people, got my hunger for travel in motion.
