So, my name is Michael! I'm born and raised in Belgium, and currently still live there.

My heart has always been a traveler and I try to hop in my car or onto a plane to a next adventure any chance I get.

I'm most passionate about the U.S. and working actively on trying to see the entire country. I also try to keep up the hopes of maybe one day settling down there.

My next trip abroad is going to be to the U.S. again, doing a car-lover's road trip through the Midwest!

I'm also toying with the idea of doing the John Muir Trail, but I'm going to need some more mental preparedness if I want to take it on solo.

Personally, although I have a very corporate job and love it, there's much more to me than that. I am always looking to help friend or stranger! Even though currently I can't host (see below), should you be interested in visiting the Antwerp/Belgium area, don't hesitate to shoot me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately, as I still live with my parents (don't judge, I prefer spending my money on traveling over rent), I am unable to host at this time. Maybe this will change in the near future, who knows :)

I created my account like 3 years ago but never really did anything with it.
Next spring, however, I'm taking on my first solo-trip (except for a couple days in New York but that's hardly comparable) in the States, and well, I'm trying my luck on here for a change!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

Hard to have a real list, I can pretty much enjoy anything that isn't objectively bad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think my proudest moments are traveling the world doing Archery competitions on an international level, and getting some very nice medals and almost-medals in the process!

What I Can Share with Hosts

(Belgian) cooking!
I can teach you how to drive stick (properly)?

There's so much, hard to list on here.
I'm pretty sure a conversation won't quickly become boring if we can start from some cool travel stories!
