About Me

I am living in South Africa, I am new to Couch surfing. I enjoy a variety of sports and love traveling.
Why I’m on Couch surfing

I really like to meet new people, share stories and listen to their stories. I also think its really good to interact with people from all over the world to view their perspectives and learn from them. I really like to host people and make new friends and i think couch surfing is a perfect platform for that.

Today it’s important to be present, be relevant and add value.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music would have to be Country, Rap, Acoustic rock, jazz music, and all other types of music. The only reason I listen to all these types are rap is to pump me up, acoustic rock is when I’m in a mellow mood, country is when I feel a little sad . But one of my favorite bands right now would be Rocket to the Moon and A Day to Remember.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I will start with my amazing accomplishment.
I was always a skinny type of guy in school. So when I decided to join the Belgian Parachutist Regiment everyone went NOOO man don't do it.
The fact that I wasn't the Schwarzenegger type and I was of foreign origin made the challenge bigger for me.
So when after four months I got my "dagger" (=commando) and another one month I got my "wing", the sky had no limits anymore for me.
I was the best, toughest and proved all my critics wrong.
That is when I found my self-believe back.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.
