My name is Jonathan, 26 years old and I'm from the land of chocolate, fries and waffles. I have been studying for 7 years and now I'm finally finished with my masters in communication, I'ts time for the trip I have been dreaming about.
I'm leaving on a trip through Russia, Asia and Australia for about 1 year. Next to my studentlife I run a people agency in the student city Ghent.

I consider myself a social and adventurous guy, always excited about meeting new people, discovering cities & cultures and always up for a challenge.

I like: coffee, snow, breezes in the summer, beer, dogs, pinguins, stories, sunset, long walks, sushi, movies, the sound of nothing, ice cream, music, different cultures, watersports, history, sightseeing, architecture, social media, languages, stars

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said above I'm going on a one year trip through Russia, Asia & Australia. I think the best way to learn about a new place and where to go is to spend some time with the locals, listening to their stories & visions. Maybe I'll even make some new friends.

I don't think CS is a place to sleep, but a place to meet great people from all over the world and a great tool to really learn the most beautiful amd mysterious spots a city has to offer.
