About Me

CURRENT MISSION

a one month hichikingtrip in preparation of a 6 month hichikingtrip to India :)

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm a 27 year old belgian guy. I live in Brussels and I work at the national tv channel. My passions are philosophy and audiovisiual art. So I m currently working on a documentary that combines both.

PHILOSOPHY

I love existentialism in general especially Nietzche i really like. Eastern philosophy has also a big influence on me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to travel that is very compatible with hitchhiking. I love both because they add something to travel that you otherwise wouldn't get: the adventure, the never knowing what and who you will encounter, the limitless opportunity s... it makes life very intense

Interests

I have a passion for hitchhiking, philosophy and audiovisual arts. So currently I m preparing to combine all off them into one project: a transmedia documentary about a six month hichhiking trip from Brussels to India.

Music, Movies, and Books

where to start... Favourite screenwriter: charlie Kaufman

favourite director: a tie between Park Chang Wood and Christoffer Nolan and Terence Mallik.

Favorite book... When Nietzsche wept from Irvin D Yalom :-)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hichiking back home to Brussels from Istanbul was an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to share a vitallistic existential view. I think life is pretty incredible. But in our everyday life with our everyday worries we tend to forget that. The truth is we 've been granted an incredible opportunity and we should get the most out of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation and company :-)and two willing, all be it a little clumsy, helping hands :-)
