CURRENT MISSION

To explore and experience the world

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Tim, living in Assenede, it's a small town near Ghent.
I like to travel, explore other countries and like to meet people from all over the world.
I've already travelled to a lot of different countries but have many more to explore and I can't wait to do so. Unfortunately I've also have to do something that people call "work" but whanever I've got holidays I try to discover the world!

PHILOSOPHY

The future influences the present just as much as the past. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet new people and I like to show them around in Ghent.
So if you want to have a nice time in Ghent and you need a place to stay just let me know and we can see if we can figure something out.

If you don't need a couch but you want meet somebody to show you around in Ghent or you just want go for drinks you can always let me know too ;-)

When I am not hosting or travelling I try to join couchsurfingmeetings and gatherings and occasionally organise some couchsurfingmeeting myself.
