Hey there, I'm Koen, a single father to a vibrant 5-year-old daughter, originally from Antwerp, currently spending my Sundays in Haarlem to visit my delightful daughter, who is growing up in Amsterdam. Navigating the beautiful journey of parenthood while pursuing multiple entrepreneurial ventures is my daily adventure.

Stay happy and playful, it's only a ride!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on the lookout for awesome people to hang out with and build meaningful connections. Whether it's exploring the charming streets of a strange city, discovering hidden gems in my own country, or simply sharing stories over a cup of coffee, I'm all in for enriching experiences and inspiring conversations.

Additionally, I'm happy to host fellow travelers in Brasschaat, a cozy town just 15 minutes from Antwerp. If you're planning a trip to Antwerp or looking for a place to stay, feel free to reach out! Let's explore, connect, and make the most of our time together!

Interests

As a coach, real estate enthusiast, product developer, investor, and explorer of the digital landscape including NFTs and cybersecurity, entrepreneurship often intertwines seamlessly with my personal interests.

I share my life with Evy, not as a partner, but as a fellow enthusiast in enriching experiences. Together, we've created our own cohousing project, where community and connection thrive through regular events we organize. While I don't hit the gym as often as I'd like, I strive to maintain a morning routine that includes strength training, fueling my day as an early riser rather than a night owl.

Culturally curious and a lover of fine dining and luxuries, I find equal solace in the serenity of nature's wonders. While I appreciate the finer things, I value meaningful conversations over surface-level interactions, as they add depth and richness to life's tapestry.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everytime I finish my book, I change them for another with someone who I met at the moment I'm now reading
'the small big', 'the big leap', 'trading in the zone'

I always fall asleep during a movie, even in the cinema, but very occasionally, if it's really interesting and intellectually engaging, then I manage to stay awake... Suggestions are welcome.

I love music, all kinds. For sure if it's live so if you can play an instrument I'm already impressed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camino de Santiago (1500km walk)

If you say 'yes' to almost everything they come up with, you'll have a thousand stories to tell... I dare you to do the same for 1month and see what it will bring you.

Teach, Learn, Share

With an eye for opportunity, I'm constantly envisioning and executing exciting projects. I gravitate towards individuals who radiate joy and curiosity, as I believe genuine enthusiasm is key to navigating life's adventures.

Furthermore I can share my energy (the most precious of them all), teach you the skill to trade responsibly, and celebrate life together...

Let's connect over shared passions, explore new horizons, and delve into the beauty of genuine connections.

What I Can Share with Hosts
