About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling by car to Mongolia

ABOUT ME

All about me hey?!?
Well, I'm an easygoing kind of guy and stressing is just not me. The things I enjoy the most are all things that envolve interaction with other 'living things' (let's not exclude dogs and palm trees here). So I can very much enjoy a beer in the sun, a chat om the beach, a cosy meal or a stroll in the park. I love to meet new interesting people and off course, travelling is never far away.

PHILOSOPHY

I hate people who hate things!
Live like you would only live once! Do something impulsive, something no one has ever done before. Go places where you don't speak the language and try to absorb their culture and language.
See and think positive, always. A broken legs is just a good opportunity to travel to the beach and read a good book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm living in the beautifull city of Antwerp, Belgium. Best food and drinks ever, very cosy city with a huge offer of history, shops, and generally excellent 'hanging-about'
it's between Paris (3 hours), Brussels (1 hour) and Amsterdam (3 hours) so very central in western Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly hosted a few people in our cosy apartment in Antwerp!

Interests

'social fun' is how I like to call it. It can be dinner with friends, a visit to your city and all it's great features, a game of chess or something in between. A good movie and great food are also things I really appreciate in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music in the style of Queens Of The Stone Age, Artic Monkeys,... but I like a lot of other stuff too. Only RnB and tecno and alikes I consider "Run Away!"-music.
I'm a big moviefan. Books I also like although I only tend to read when I'm travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

travelling through the desert of Australia with a 20-year old van is still an unforgetable adventure!
