CURRENT MISSION

Playing for change: use music to help make this world a better place.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old Belgian living from his music nad a continious traveller. I'm easy going, and treat others how I would like to be treated. I have a passion for Roots music, which I try to share with other people by gigging and busking whenever I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't mistreat nobody 'cause you got a few dimes. That includes animals, as I am a vegetarian.

When I see something wrong in the world, I always think: Somebody should do something about that. We are somebody too...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can accomodate one or two person here at my house, which is situated just outside of the historic inner city of Ghent. Easily accessible by public transport, and parking space is usually abbundant. Feel free to contact me if you need somebody to show you around Belgium.

Music, Movies, and Books

Soft spot for roots music: Folk, Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, African music, Mongolian Kyrgyra

Books: too many to name; although my favourite novelist probably is John Irving. Love the Beat literature as well.

Movies: Old ones ofcourse, and off-beat stuff. If I should name a favourite, I guess it would be one of those old Westerns, like 'Once Upon a Time in America'. A Well-spent Life is also a beauty to behold.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Participating in a benefit CD, 29 Years - 29 Songs of which the profits were used to support a child cancer carecenter. Amazing what one can do by playing music. People say the Blues is bad, but I reckon it's the best thing I've ever had.

Now doing this 'being a touring musician' fulltime, and it is absolutely mindblowing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I might teach you a few tricks about busking, camping and survival. And if that doesn't work, I can show you how to build your own guitar out of garbage and teach you some tunes. Can also show you how to cook some wicked vegetarian/vegan dishes, and even make them taste good...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wifi, garden, shower (as in, you can can shower - I won't scrub your back), time, food, ...

Countries I’ve Visited
