About Me

ABOUT ME

Salvete! My name is Kenneth and I'm currently working as a teacher in Belgium. I teach Dutch to foreigners and love it! Lived very shortly in Melbourne, but there I found out that I really wanted to build a life at home. Don't have any regrets. Now I can fully commit to being a great host! So, if anyone want to learn Dutch or Latin..., contact me. In exchange you can teach me guitar, trumpet, Greek, Barista skills, ... Ofcourse I love travelling. Recently I've been to Thailand (Bangkok), Cambodia (Siem Reap) and Laos. Love running, tennis, literature, art, camping and anything what's beautiful in life. Oh, I'm a vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem! I just try to be positive and friendly, because I do believe that's the best way to get the most out of life. I tend to be a little bit naive, but I guess it's a strength as well. I don't take anything for granted and I can be amazed by little things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Don't have much experience. I hosted a few times and couchsurfed in Italy. Both I enjoyed. Ready to host again as I'm working my ass off. and don't have time to travel alot. Also active on the hangouts page. I already met some really cool people thanks to the app!

Interests

I love sports: running, tennis, swimming, yoga... I like to travel (ofcourse) and hitchhike. I also love reading (mainly in Dutch, but sometimes in French and English as well), writing, visiting art galleries and musea, singing, acting,..

Music, Movies, and Books

Haruki Murakami, Amélie Nothomb, Tolkien, Tom Lanoye, Caesar..., Pop/Jazz/Bluegrass/Classical..., I like 'foreign' movies (La grande bellezza, Amelie Poulain, Jagten, La vita e bella)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Maja e Rosit in Albania and camped on the beach near Dhermi. Private beach, bonfire, skinny dipping, eating breakfast on a big rock. It was amazing!
