About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do or do not, there is no try - Master Yoda

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think I can describe my personal philosophy in a few sentence but the basics are the following:

- Make the confrontation with your own dreams;
- What you think, is who you are (James Allen);
- Life begins at the end of your comfort zone;
- Sometimes you just need to say: "Screw it! Let's just do it!"
- Don't be trapped by dogma;
- Fight the good fight every day! Every single day, I tell you! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I contribue to the cs by guiding people around Bruges or even Belgium and offcourse hosting new people. I am always glad to help other people and that is one of the main reasons I signed up for this concept. You will notice that I am a big fan of Bruges and if you meet up with me, I will show you the best (hidden) spots in Bruges to taste beer, chocolade and to have a great night out! You will enjoy every minute of it :)

During the years, I met a lot of new people thanks to couchsurfing.org and many of them have become my friends.

Interests

- Traveling;
- Learning about new cultures and people (Main reason why I joined CS)
- Gaming (PS3 and PC);
- Entrepreneurship;
- Reading books on health/nutrition/management;
- I'm also a BIG fan of music;
- Internet marketing is also my passion.
