About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience other people, other cultures, other mentalities

ABOUT ME

I'd like to get as much out of life as possible, and I think the key ingredient to get new ideas, visions, experiences is meeting new people and travelling. Couldnt live without music, friends, time for myself and try to be the best version of myself.
I'm easygoing, openminded (everybody uses this word, for me it means I can open up to different kind of people, I'm not afraid to try new things, I respect differences in mentality).

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy? Live your life the way you think it should be lived, don't be held back by fear or the prejudices of others. Know yourself and always remember we're just a bunch of apes that fell out of a tree.
Enjoy life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can provide you with a sofa, or a matrass, a nice meal (belgium frites n steak rule!) and my exclusive company ;)

I will make time to show you around here in Leuven, or Brussels, we surely have some hidden gems here and really nice bars/restaurants.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any experience yet. But I hope to change that soon.

Interests

I like so many things. Let's see... Music plays an important role. I like to play guitar, go to concerts, or just listen to it while running.
I like reading, visiting friends, watching a good movie,.. I like to scratch the surface and discover the beauty of things.
I like running, I like to snowboard although its been way too long, I like to party now and then.

I dislike endless routine, too much stress and waking up very early (unless for the right reasons ;)
