I'm a thirty-something travel enthusiast from Belgium.

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and see the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever you go, becomes a part of you somehow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, and hear stories from all over the world.
Traveling is so much more than just visiting: it's feeling the specific energy of a place, learning about its history and meeting and talking with lots of people.

Interests

Traveling (of course), history, art, photography, playing old fashioned board games, movies, writing.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
My cd collection (yes, I still have them) mainly consists of orchestral soundtracks (John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newton, James Horner...), but there's also more mainstream stuff like Coldplay, Live, R.E.M., Mumford and Sons (I love a good banjo!), Fleet Foxes, Agnes Obel...

MOVIES
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Last of the Mohicans, Tangled (I really liked it!), The Lord of the Rings, Some Like it Hot, Dr Strangelove

BOOKS
Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, La Peste, Het Gulden Vlies Van Thule

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one?

Counting the stars and feeling utterly small watching the milky way in Yellowstone NP.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Dutch or French. :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and some real Belgian chocolate (if it's still early on my trip).

I can make Belgian pancakes (waffles is a bit more difficult!) and am pretty good at putting Ikea-things together.
