CURRENT MISSION

To make our house a cosy home, and pick up couchsurfing again.

ABOUT ME

Veronique:
I'm a dreamer, a romanticus, a buzzy bee, a fairy, a godess, a devil in disguise.
I'm realistic, optimistic, down to earth and up in the air and basicly completely crazy. :-p

If you want to meet me and my 386 personalitys, just sent a message!!
Beware though, since you never know what you are gonna get ;-) but only 4 of the personality's are violent/dangerous... :-p

One of my friends told me once: "You look like such a girly girl, but you think like a bloke..."

Your Personality is Very Rare (ENTP)

Your personality type is optimistic, curious, enthusiastic, and open.
You are Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.
How Rare Is Your Personality?

As you can see from the above, not even personality test can exactly figure it out, so it's up to you!!

He:
A rather shy boy who needs to get to know people a little bit first (a few beers in the process always helps).
Very gullible and always ready to lent a hand or two and help out wherever he can.

In the last couple of years he has become more open and social and people tend to like him :-)... (or at least I do) More the introverted type but with a huge heart.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept people for who they are, not for wat they could be and never for what they should be. See them in all their glory... Everyone is beautifull in their own particular way!
Don't judge people on their past.

Courage is not the abcense of fear, its the power to face your fears and overcome them...

Enjoy and experience life in all it's aspects;

You can never do good for everyone, so stop trying, do good for the people you believe in en never loose yourself trying to please others.
If people don't accept you for who you are, they are not worth being your friend!

The meaning of life is basicly people, not money or anything else (although having enough money to get buy makes live a bit easier, it is not the way to conquer happiness)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just being myself... hoping that in my own small way I can make a difference.

Offering my matrass, my attendance to meetings, my personal opinions and my favourite places in Belgium

Interests

She:

I'm intrested in a lot of things, but not really fanatic about anything. Most of all I'm intrested in people and in YOU!

Just some of the things that I like:

Music, Movies, and Books

She:
too much to sum it up in this short amount of time... still love historical youth novels about strong woman though...
How corny it may sound, I'm a Harry Potter fan.

My favourite books are the books written by Terry Goodkind. The series is called the sword of truth and it is a series of 11 books + an epiloge
I also like Thrillers

I'm a filmfan... can look to everything which has a good/nice story in it and/or is not 13 in a dozen. And I'm a sucker for romance, so however corny and bad they might be I'm always up for watching a romantic (komedie) movie.

Ooh and above all, I love musicals!!!

Music, not really favourite kind, for me it's more about the music/lyrics than particular groups or genres. At the moment pretty into Kate Nash, Amy Macdonals, The kooks, Lady linn and her magnificent seven.
I also love folkmusic and dutchmusic, especially 'kleinkunst'

He:
Music: a lot like she except for folk
Books: not that much of a reader but mostly non-fiction
Movies: as long as it's no romcom I can appreciate it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walking through Ghent by night... realising that I'm one of the lucky ones.
Gosh, I really love that city...

Travelling alone for the first time, experiencing that travelling alone can be less lonely than travelling with your friends.

Discovering the center of the Universe with 8 random couchsurfers with 7 nationalities from 3 continents and feeling like I've known them my entire life!

Remeeting my boyfriend and buying a house with him after being together for only 9 months (how crazy can you be :-p)

Teach, Learn, Share

just some basic life experience...

I love to cook though, and most of my friends tell me that I'm good at it too.

I will basicly share everything I have with you, although I don't have that much.

Life is about people, not money!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium
