Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a much better way of getting to know a country and its people than any official hostelling etc... Much more authentic and much more personal. I've been surfing couches and hosting surfers long before couchsurfing.com existed... and continue to do so with great pleasure. I also like to point people to the less visited but very interesting sites, even though I seldom find the time to join on such adventures.

Interests

Ecology and nature conservation, worldwide but especially in Belize.
very broad taste of music (acoustic, bossa nova, swing, blues, alternative rock, reggae,...) and sports (gymnastics, karate, volleyball, horse riding, etc).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

volunteering for nature conservation... different places, many times... it just gives me most satisfaction: trying to make people see the interdependence of all living things...

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Dutch or counting to ten in Ciluba, to whoever is crazy enough wanting to learn either of those... I'd love to share some guitar/drumming jam sessions and to discover ways of life that differ from what I'm used to...

What I Can Share with Hosts

music!
And cooking... (even though I like to experiment and I'm not the greatest cook around... this combination makes for interesting taste experiences, and funny gambles on their success.. )
