I am a former military personnel and freelance translator who lives in Brussels. I had been using CouchSurfing mostly for hosting but now would like to surf in and around Belgium, especially small towns with hidden gems.

To me, CouchSurfing is not about free accommodation but about discovering a place with locals and share stories over a drink.

I also would love to host you here in Brussels especially for the weekends as I don't have time to spend with you during the weekdays.

Although I had to sell my motorbike, I like riding, running, listening to music, seeing new places and getting to know new people.

Hopefully my path crosses with as many people as possible and you would be one of them.

P.s. I dont have any "hidden Easter Eggs" in my profile unlike other CSers who likes to receive personalized requests :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

best way to practice my English, good opportunity to meet someone new, great idea to keep your home clean and tidy :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Turkish, how to ride a motorcycle..

I would love to learn French, get to know your culture..

I can share my stories, my meal and my companion when you are my guest...

What I Can Share with Hosts

It is a short-lease furnished 1-bed room apartment, so I don't have any extra key, so I can accept you just for the weekend. You better bring your own mat/airbed, otherwise my couch in the living room is so small to sleep on it.
