I grew up in Ghent, Belgium and studied Applied informatics at the University of Ghent.
I'm running a design agency with focus on architectural photography, 3d visualizations & graphic design for architects, interior magazines and construction companies.

I consider myself as an open minded, calm and sociable person and I like to treat everyone equally and respectfully. I enjoy deep conversations and connections. I like passionate, creative and ambitious people who laugh easily and I'm perfectly fine with silence too. I love traveling (duuuh... ), good food, wine, psychology, nature and sunsets.

I live in the city center of Ghent, Belgium.

Despite being one of Belgium's oldest cities, Ghent remains small enough to feel cosy but big enough to be a vibrant centre for culture. Ghent offers a great mix of modern and medieval architecture. The city is host to some big cultural events such as the Gentse Feesten, I Love Techno, "10 Days Off" musical festival, Flanders International Film Festival and much, much more... and as with most Belgian cities, Ghent offers a rich variety of local and foreign cuisine and numerous bars. Let's go on a hunt for waffles, fries, chocolate, and Belgian beer!

Looking forward to meet you! Steven ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled many countries in various ways. From luxury resorts and boutique hotels to low-budget backpacking for 6 months through South-East Asia and India. Do I like luxury? Hell yeah, sometimes I do... but what I like the most about traveling is the up-close view into local culture and history and that is exactly what you get when meeting locals and joining a travel community such as CS.
