I'm a funloving, always cheerful travel fanatic. I grab every chance I can to learn any kind of new skills or acquire knowledge. Lived and worked as an overseas holiday representative on different destinations in Turkey, Egypt, Spain, Dominican Republic and Greece but now back in Belgium, living in Brussels.
I'm new to couchsurfing, although I surfed on many couches of my friends and acquaintances all over the world, before I ever signed up here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've worked in tourism business as an overseas holiday rep. I enjoyed the time but traveling in big fancy resorts just ain't my thing. I prefer to stay in touch with the locals and get a real taste of the region and exchange stories and experiences with like-minded people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got invited for a party aboard the private yacht of the prince of Saudi Arabia in Egypt once, celebrating the captain's birthday. He ran into a female colleague of mine while he was grocery shopping so he invited her to bring along some friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Dutch, English, French, Spanish, basic Turkish, cooking, DSLR photography and love to share stories from all around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Generally a good time. I like to join them for a drink in their favourite hangout spot. I love to exchange experiences and stories from all around the world. As I've lived and worked abroad in tourism I can share quite a big deal of information and tips.
