ABOUT ME

Tine's friend Fien speaking: Tine is one of my oldest friends. There're many reasons why we're still friends after 18 years: she loves to laugh, is superfriendly, sociable,... She studied digital design and just can't live without music. If you want to discuss music or want some inspiration: she's your 'man'. For more: visit Tine!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't have my own philosophy, maybe it's mainstream but: cease the day. I prefer to be happy, when I'm not, I'm searching for a solution to feel better. Most of the times the solution: friends or music.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet couchsurfers in Gent. Take them for a walk, play some tabletopgames or going for a drink together
Love to learn about new cultures, ideas,..meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Went to Wales in September 2012 for my first couchsurfexperience. It was awesome. I also hosted and met some other couchsurfers, it was an amazing experience.
Learning about other cultures, sharing or discussing some interesting topics or just having a drink while sharing awesome stories. They were all very pleasant experiences!
Especially our trip to Java where we met awesome people, we even saw Andyna back in Ghent a year after we went to Indonesia. Also our couchsurfers from Colombia/Paris, Carlos and Veronica, became good friends. Colombia is now on our list 'countries to visit'. Our last surfers, Sarah, Chris and their little Jack we miss already. We had such a nice time together and we hope we can see them again as soon as possible in Melbourne! :)

LIST OF TOP COUNTRIES/CITIES I WANT TO VISIT SO BAD:
- Canada
- Iceland
- Australia
- Every Scandinavian Country
- Colombia
- Explore Asia
