Hi, I'm Ruben I'm 27 years old and I live in Ghent, Belgium. I like to go hiking, to go for a coffee or to indulge in cultural activities and good conversations.

I'm always happy to hangout and show you around in Ghent! 😃

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has a story to tell or a lesson to teach, that's why I think it's important to meet people from different nations and different walks of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you an introduction to Belgian culture and history or Flemish cuisine; language lessons; a helping hand in the garden; and I'm always happy to join you on any hikes or nature trips. :)
