CURRENT MISSION "Sit back and relax" - or learning how to do that ABOUT ME Born and raised in Brugge, but moved to Wevelgem, south of West-Flandres. Of course I love to travel, but I'm always happy to come back here too. I have a boyfriend, Frank, we also travel together. Sometimes as a couple, we will host you, or we will travel, but sometimes we will travel with "all" our kids. I have one son (21), who likes to travel as well. He lives on his own. His name is Merijn [muh-rain] but he loves to be called Jack and he speaks good English. He's a gamer, a picky eater, and he loves cats. Frank has 2 kids: Lore, an 16 year old girl, who likes to read, play outside with her friends, she loves to help and cook for you or with you! Lukas, an 14 year old boy, who is very active, loves pc and videogames, but also the outdoors, basketball and biking. I have been on Couchsurfing since June 2006, together with my son, Frank and his kids are new to it, but love the whole idea. Frank is a well-experienced traveller, who spent lots of time in India, Nepal, Australia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, New Zealand, Cambodia, USA, Canada, Turkey, Norway,... In short: he traveled a LOOOOT more than me! He is coaching basketball to teenagers, but his "real" job takes place in an office with International Dispatching, he lives and works near the French border. He's a good cook, enjoys sports and the outdoors, and loves sauna. PHILOSOPHY My house is a place where I like to be, but I love to go away and return to it. Opening my heart and house gives meaning to my current life and helps me broaden my mind. We are apparently not ready for what we think we are looking for; give a person what he wants and he will not want it anymore, give him rest and security and he will get bored. Honesty is such a lonely word. Speak your mind. It may hurt for a while but then it will always make sense and keep the respect intact. Life is too short for grudges.
