Hello, I'm Koen, a creative, easy going, down to earth guy from Belguim who is travelling through America for 6 months

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for people where I can stay or who want to show me around in their hometown. It's always nice to meet new people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: I listen to a lot of different music from Adele to Netsky to classical music
Books: I don't really like reading books, I prefer comics and graphic novels like 'Blankets' and 'Persepolis' or 'Maus', but there is one book I love and it's called 'The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared'
Movies: I watch a lot of movies. I love 'Amelie Poulin' and the 'l hauberge Espagnol films and also 'The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm trying to get my own graphic novel published. There is an editor I'm working woth at the moment

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an illustrator/art teacher and I sing and act in musicals in Belgium, so it would be great to meet some other creative people. I also like listning to peoples stories and learn about all their experiances and backgrounds. I like to have an open mind and view towards the world.
