About Me

***Not accepting guests for a while, sorry!***

CURRENT MISSION

Establishment of a healthy and happy work-life situation with my 4 cats, 3 rabbits, 3 chickens and girlfriend (just the 1...).

ABOUT ME

Very open minded, i get along with most types of people :) Did my three-year internship as a lawyer, then suddenly I was a lawyer for two more years. A bit of a slap in the face after the experience of roaming around and being free in any aspect you can possibly imagine. But kept my head above water, found myself an amazing girlfriend (who used to be a client 😏), we bought a house together and settled in my hometown at the belgian coastal region.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying not to grow up too fast, making the best out of each day. I almost enjoy hanging out and doing nothing as much as being busy and learning about new stuff to do and try to find my limits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been away for about 15 months, backpacking and working my way through Australia and New-Zealand. Fell in love with Melbourne but in the end i got back home and started building my life here :)

Always happy to share some stories.
