About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to enjoy life as much as possible, keep active, do things, visit places, know people :D

ABOUT ME

I hope they would say nice stuff!

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can really host anyone right now, but I'd be more than happy to hang out with people coming to Brussels, whether they want to know more about this complicated little country or just taste some of our best beers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted anyone yet, nor have I been hosted by someone, but I've met some great people thanks to Couchsurfing. Hope I can meet some more soon!

Interests

Writing (short stories, hopefully one will be published soon :D ), reading, music (check out my 8tracks page http://8tracks.com/mbewane, movies, hanging out, basketball (amateur...favorite team being the New York Knicks...for those who know, no jokes please, it's hard enough :D ). Also interested in politics and linguistic issues (being in Belgium helps!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Anything by Garcia Marquez, Saramogo, Kundera or Thomas Gunzig (Belgium writer, not sure if translated)

Music: Hip-Hop, Future Bass, Moombathon, Dubstep, Trap music, West and Central African music, basically anything that has good vibes (http://8tracks.com/mbewane)

Movies: so many, but a couple favorites would be Usual Suspects, Kill Bill, La Haine, Black Dynamite (:) )...and many many more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't think of any right now...well I was evacuated from Central African Republic due to a military coup, not sure if that counts as "amazing" :(

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I don't have any "practical" skills, but I've been reading a whole lot about linguistic issues, migration and International politics, so maybe that. I've writing for a couple of years so I can maybe give some tips on that. If young European travelers want to know about opportunities to go live in other European country, I give some info about that too (I did an European Voluntary Service in Italy). And anyone interested in practicing french can contact me of course!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Israel, Madagascar, Mali, Martinique, Poland, Portugal

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Central African Republic, France, Italy, United States
