About Me

CURRENT MISSION

take it easy

ABOUT ME

I am a quiet and open-minded guy who loves to take it easy in life. I don't plan life too much ahead - I want to take every day as it comes.

PHILOSOPHY

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer. (Clement Freud)

We moeten de problemen pas aanpakken als ze zich stellen. (Jean-Luc Dehaene)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You are welcome to surf my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every once in a while, someone is surfing the couch in my house. I have surfed couches in Luxembourg and Manchester.

Interests

I like to have friends over for a drink or for dinner - just a good meal and a glass of wine is a great starting recipe for unforgettable evenings.

I ride my road bike (summer) or play indoor football (winter).

When travelling, I particularly enjoy hanging around with other people to experience other cultures, and to see different landscapes. I like to hitchhike, or do anything else that leads to unexpected adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Years ago, I had a fantastic ride from Belgium to Finland in a horse transportation lorry - the owner of the company offered me a ride in exchange for smuggling cigars for him into Finland. The driver (Tommi) and I were strangers to each other completely different guys, but we got along surprisingly well. We lived many adventures during the 48-hour trip, and are still friends today. Offer your couch if you want to hear the full story :)
