Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mi casa, su casa! I can finally start to host, hope to welcome you in Ghent! In weekends I can definitely show around, I know the city (and the nightlife) pretty well. During weekdays maybe, it depends on my working schedule. Sometimes I'm on a weekend trips myself, but just ask and we'll make it work ☺️

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The idea of CS is just amazing... It's a great way to get to know the local culture/lifestyle and you'll never know, afterwards, you'll have a new good friend...

Interests

Really eager to learn a lot of different things and to travel as many places as I can... Everything that's related to nature/culture/people/environment/politics/music/food/....

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies : Tarantino stuff, Scorsese stuff, European cult movies, the English ones (Snatch, Lock Stock, ...)
Music : from 1960's rock (CCR's, Grateful Dead, Hendrix,...) over jazz&funk (Davis, Gillespie,Parliament Funkadelic,James Brown,...) to 1990's hiphop (A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, EPMD,...) & clubbing on house,techno, acid,,...
Books : Beat generation books, Saffran Foer, Hosseini, Tom Wolfe,.... Lots of non-fiction about life, politics, economy...

Teach, Learn, Share

As a graduate in Tourism I think I can share my honest opinion about tourism in general and the sustainable side of it... I also had my own business, focussed around music & craft beer. So I can share a lot about that obviously. And also, about life in general.... I have had a few lifes now, so there are always stories to tell :) All of this accompanied with a good beer/wine pleasee :)
