Hey, I'm Chang Long. Friends call me Chang. I run a family business, a Chinese restaurant in a town calls Gistel, which is close to the coast of Belgium.

I love to travel because that's the only time for myself and not to think about work. I also like to go to concert shows, listening to music has always been a part of my life. If you are wondering what kind of music that I like to listen, basically all kind of music, but mostly punk, rock and metal.

I'm a foodie; I like to try new things. From my past travels, I tried weird things, some of them loved it, others not a fan of it. I like a bit of adventure in my life, but then being self-employed I don't always have the time to travel far away and for a long time.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate and shoot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to this. A friend convinced me to try it out, so I'm giving it a shot. I like the idea of traveling. Also, an excellent way to meet new friends around the world and share great stories. Traveling can be so expensive these days, and I prefer to spend on exploring the city instead.
I don't mind to stay at hostels, most important thing is that I like to meet people all around the world and learn more about their culture and philosophy of life.

If I'm able to get a few days off, I would be pleased to be your guide and friend to grab a drink after showing you some nice places. Ostend and Bruges are very close from where I live.
Sadly on weekends, I'm not free at all, I have to work at the restaurant.

I'm very open to all kind of music. When I have the time, I like to go to concerts and festivals. Sometimes I traveled all the way to the UK to see a band.
I like to watch movies, but I love TV shows.
I'm not a fan of books, but I did read a big book, The Davinci Code, marvelous book!
