About Me

We are a Dutch-Italian couple who truly love to travel and tour the world. We love sharing stories and exchanging ideas with old and new friends alike.
Philosophy: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page".
We are currently on a mission to visit Cuba and Myanmar!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We have surfed in many places from Chile to Thailand, always welcomed by great hosts. Among the people we have met, some became our best friends.
When we are not traveling or too busy, we host travelers in our modest home in Brussels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big spectrum of choice when it comes to music, from indie rock to gypsy jazz, really.
Books, well...slowly reading everything published by Eland.
For movies, we are more of the documentaries kind of types. Enjoying also drama, romantic comedies, history and action alike. We easily fall for TV series too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Uyuni's Salt Lakes, the Iguazu Waterfalls, the Atacama desert and the sky above by night. Wow!
* Snorkeling around Tioman island, Malaysia.
* Mirador de San Nicolas, and the view over Granada...'marvelous' is not even the right word.
* Flying over the Netherlands...in a hot-air balloon!
* Road-tripping through South Africa
