About Me

Born and studied in Belgium, I am foremost a planetary adventurer, worker, and servant.
At 20, I went to live in two ashrams in India and the USA during five years to practice méditation, yoga (all), and selfless service in order to complete my spiritual education.
Afterward, I initiated an international career as a lighting designer, consultant, and project manager for numerous projects in South East Asia, Costa Rica, Bali, Singapore, Malaysia, and Europe.

Lately, I bought a sailboat that I entirely refurbished in Holland and sailed to the Canary Islands and later the Balearic Islands and was working as a skipper. Sometimes, with crewmates on board as well.

I also did in 2012-2014 some workaway and couchsurfing while traveling in Spain and Portugal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I experienced couchsurfing in 20212-2014 while traveling and doing some workaway, and I have such a great memory of all the great people's from all walks of life, age, and nationalities that I met and exchanged with.
I also used to be a Couchsurfing host back in Costa when I was doing a resort project in the peninsula of Nicoya.
I just love to be around and get to know open-minded travelers to exchange skills, tips, insights, deep conversations, and whatever else manifesting in the sacred present moment

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing adventure I have lived is the one I made towards my inner self while living in Ashrams in India and US. I must tell.
The second most amazing adventure was to make my kids' dream come true when I purchased a 12M sailboat and lived on it for 5 consecutive years, sailing all over Europe and Canary Islands while welcoming people's on board for great fun sailing passages and coast cruising while chartering.
