CURRENT MISSION:
I recently moved to the Bronx after completing my masters in Waltham, MA. I am now starting a new position as an Assistant track and field coach for the throws at Columbia University.

ABOUT ME:
I have moved around a good amount the last few years from NY to the Netherlands to Massachusetts but am now in NYC. I often travel back to the Netherlands and Belgium to visit my family but for the time being I am content to enjoy my time here meeting new people from around the world as much as I can. I have dual citizenship in Belgium and United States.

PHILOSOPHY:
The good life.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
I have done a bit of everything so far in several countries; meetups, hosted and surfed some couches and have never had a bad experience. I have made a number of new friends and am always looking forward for the adventures that come out of couchsurfing.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I have competed in the Hammer and Discus throw in the Belgian National Track and Field Championships the past three years which has been very fun! (I won 25 euro and box of cookies for a third place finish once so I guess you can say I've gone Pro)
