Quiet, but always in for a laugh. Easygoing. Respectful. Trying to be righteous in everything that I do. Currently living in Belgium and figuring out where I want to be going with my life. Open-minded. Eager to meet people of all sorts and flavours.

Try not to make your future self hate the younger you too much, although that is not as easy as it sounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, being open-minded to surfers and convincing non-surfers to follow my example and start surfing whenever they see the opportunity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a train trip to Vietnam and (then flew to) Japan in 2011. It was my initiation into Couchsurfing, and it was great. I felt part of the community in no time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm able to teach people Dutch, English and German. And my friends tell me that I have an unremitting calmness that radiates onto my entire environment :-)
