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. Hopefully, my path crosses with as many people as possible, and you would be one of them.
Interested in Hiking
Interested in Motor Sports
Fluent in English
Learning French
