I love to talk, see and learn. Learning is what keeps me going. I have a travel bug inside me and that is what keeps me going around. There's so much to learn in this world and I believe different people coming from various cultures, make a great contribution in achieving this. Food and music inspires me!

I work in Brussels as a consultant in a leading firm, and in my spare time (if any!) I just disappear from Leuven to travel around. I believe that travel is the best teacher. Whoever said that "Traveling is a book and those who don't, read only a page" sure knew their words!

I'm a total outdoor person. If there's a beautiful sun outside and I'm not working, there's no way on earth that anybody would find me home. Badminton, trekking, hiking, biking, camping, a barbeque, kayaking are a few things that I never say 'no' to! I also love cooking and like to try out different cuisines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Build friendships while traveling. I don't know what else can beat that!
