About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission is to find new friends all over this beautiful city.

ABOUT ME

hey. some people call me belgium. im from antwerp, but a proud inhabitant of hungary since 2009. ive been in and out as i also worked on cruise ships for a bit. i've been "stuck" for about 2 years with a full time job and am finally ready to go on a little adventure again.

PHILOSOPHY

"treat others as you wish to be treated."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i tell everyone about this! i CS and try to host sometimes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've couchsurfed for 6 months, in canada, usa and australia.

once i stayed at a 1 bedroom flat with 21 people in Vancouver. 19 of them were couchsurfers! me and my girlfriend decided to sleep outside at the parking lot. when we woke up, homeless people were taking our empty bottles but not the change that was on the floor next to us!

this is not really a couchsurfing experience, but it sort of counts for one. when i was hitchiking from sydney to brisbane, some lovely divorced guy picked us up, and invited us to stay at his house. all of us had our private room.

so just to say that while you travel, you can have the best of times in total different situations. never have i had a bad experience!
