CURRENT MISSION

Work, learn

ABOUT ME

Grew up in a small city in Belgium. Finished school, started working at 22. Became a lumberjack, then a teacher. Restarted second uni degree at 25. Working full-time and studying full-time and studying Russian and Arabic now. Summer and easter vacation allow me to do all the rest I do. Recent update: moving to NYC to finish my novel! (almost done by now...) Update: settled in Brussels. Tired of traveling.

No drugs, no smoking.

PHILOSOPHY

A vast set of mostly incongruent beliefs. I presume most important is: not to be bored, to be as good to myself as to others and the world as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I suppose it's time to offer a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS became an important part of travelling for me. The immediate shot into the veins of a city is highly addictive!
