About Me

I'm Sam
I was born in 1993 to entertain people and make them smile.
Like every other kid I hade a few hobbies, which I either hated or loved.
Boyscouts and acting school really made me the person who I am today.
Judo not so much.
After graduating in Public Relations I decided to go abroad for a few years.
In the summer months I was working for TUI group as an entertainer in holiday resorts in Spain (Ibiza and Mallorca), Greece (Crete) and Egypt (Sharm El Sheikh).
But after 4 years working in hospitality I decided to find me a 'real job'.
Believe me, entertainment is as exhausting and intensive as it gets.
After brainstorming for about 11 minutes I decided to become a bartender.
Back to Spain for a cours of 4 weeks in which I learned the basics about bartending.
Meanwhile my dad and his wife moved to the south of France.
So after 4 weeks in Barcelone and 1 week in France, I was back in Belgium trying to find me a job in hospitality.
In July and August 2016 I worked in a pop-up cocktailbar and like a rolling stone I started the first of september 2016 as Brand Ambassador in the biggest 'spirit company' in the world.

In my spare time I'd love to hang out with people, have a drink or twelve and enjoy some delicious food.
I'm always happy, even in traffic jams. I'm the crazy guy dancing and singing in his car.
I'm not the best cook, but I can make you one hell of a drink.
Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is about meeting new people, that's also why I'm here.
I honestly believe everybody has something unique to offer, and I'd like to put that to the test.
So if you need a place to stay or you want to meet new people, please do take your time to write me (more then 5 words). And I'll be happy to get back to you.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to be wrong about music.
Anything that makes me tap my feet, start humming or singing or even dancing is good for me.

But all time favourites are:
Johnny Cash
Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Flume
Louis The Child
Imagine Dragons
Mumford & Sons
Beethoven
Michael Jackson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking for 2 weeks in Ukraine, while helping under privileged families renovating their houses etc.
Second week we went into the jungle (yes Ukraine has a jungle)
