About Me

I'm a 22yrs old boy, brown hair, 188cm, not married yet. I'm discovering Taiwan through an internship in a beer company.
I tried to understand the world every morning and get insights from people that cross my everyday path. Since I like to hangout and socialize with people, I tried to set up a life destination but the itinerary it pretty unclear.
I've traveled few times in the world and I'm really interesting how people think different than I am! It helps me structure and broaden my vision of the world. visited 18 states, 34 countries, 4 oceans, and a couple summit.
I will go skiing in Japan in January. In Hokkaido, one of the thing I am the most excited at the moment. Apparently the light snow, melt with the Japanese culture and the authentic seafood made it one of coolest place in the world!
I like sushis too.
And I want lo learn piano as soon as I'll be back in Belgium; it has always frustrated me to not be able to express my music skills!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently living in Taipei in a small flat with international roommates; therefore, it would be feasible for me for me to host Couchsurfers, depending on periods. Id be happy to take a tour with couchsurfers around the city in the hidden nice spots and places I'v already been.
When I'll be back home in Belgium, I'll be able to host people in Brussels area too.

About my couch surfing experience. Back in belgium, I attended some cooking meet up via Couchsurfing, great to spend time with people beside the hosting aspect of CS. Even if couchsurfers strives to discover other's culture and share host's experience, people express them sometimes to the fullest when they do not feel that they have to adapt themselves to house rules!
I used to live in Cali when I've also had a few experiences with CS. In the Christmas time, I discovered the true Cali through a road trip with some friends. As part of our trip, we've contacted some people from Couchsurfing and slept at their place. We've partied ang hanged out together. I'm looking forward to see those people again! @Martin @Joey

Interests

Music, Kitesurf, Ski, Snowboard, Wakeboard, Longboard, Party!
I like architecture too, especially asian and Islands realization, sometime their perspective its designed with outlook you would nearly believe.
I like to cook too; meeting new people who are not afraid to share their personal life and circle of friends with others, and to experience new things with them! Sharing with them the funniest things that I've done in my life give you always in return funny stories.
I realized recently how much I love travelling. When I went to Cali in 2012 to improve my English skills, I was constantly looking for trip to organized either to Surf, to Camp or just to admire what are the most beautiful landscape our planet can offer. Ever since, I've spent part of my free time to save up money, plan how I can spend this out to enrich myself from the place I'll have the chance to discover.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like to attend festival; It's a good way to travel around, to meet crazy people with everyone its own story and craziest personal style. Yet, I've been to Sonar, Outlook, Awakenings, Rock-a-field,..
I went to Coachella 2012 too. It was just awesome. It was my first Music Festival. I liked how each people expressed their style through music and this mix to create a wonderful atmosphere that is Coachella!

About my reading experience, I've started Steve Jobs biography but haven't finished it yet and I've read a book this summer, I mostly prefer french literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Radiohead concert, Longboard roadtrip in Taiwan, Camping in Grand Canyon, Skydiving on my 18th birthday, Boyscout leader, Cycling 500km in Cambodia, Kitesurf Moroccan south coast,

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we often learn from people by spending time with them. Sometimes, when you don't know them deeply, you put aside your blindness about other cultures, styles. Therefore, you can learn from their differences about yourself!

I'm actually not a confirmed teacher yet I try to explain what I know to others. What I like the most is to share experiences with new people telling each others the crazy things we've done!

I can teach you some some cooking skills, especially carbonara pasta, I've a secret recipe. If you like watersport, I'll be happy to go for a Kitesurf session with you. Ive also a good sense of direction and some camping experience, so I could be the perfect buddy to camp with.
