CURRENT MISSION

Looking for adventure and inspiration.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bio-engineer with a broad interest. I grew up in Keerbergen and Haacht, Flanders, Belgium. I like talking about a lot of stuff, whereby conversations can vary between very serious and extremely low-level chats. I consider myself as being a family-man and a friends man, as I find these two are the most important things in life. Furthermore, I guess I'm a quite tolerant person and I try to take everyone's opinion into account. My stress-tolerance level is rather low, and I'm also the everlasting doubter (it's hard to make choices).

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live
Dream great dreams and dare to fail
Wherever you are, it is your friends who make your world
No pain, no glory

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS from an American student, who did an extra year of studies at the university of Leuven. I also read about it in HUMO, a magazine that is very popular in Flanders. During my Canada-travel (2009) I was able to experience some couchsurfing and no complaints so far.
