About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding out what my mission is in this live ...

ABOUT ME

just ask, i'll answer...

PHILOSOPHY

Some tear down the world and only see the bad things, get depressed about it and whine a lifetime long on it.

Others just rush into life and just live it without any thinking or questioning at all

I want to be the one in the middle, the one that takes the time to see the beauty but knows alots is going wrong. I want my life to have more meaning than the life of the ant in an antsnest.

*Quoting Time

Carpe Diem

Live is what happens when you're busy making plans

If you don't have plan, nothing can go wrong

If you travel by yourself, you'll never get lost

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not yet really, just starting out...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done some minor backpacking trips before and keep ending up asking strangers for a safe place to sleep. But never couchsurfed properly.

Maybe you can help me out ?

Interests

If people ask I'll say: Travelling, meeting new people, going out, poker, games, reading, movies, foosball..

but most of the time I end up hanging in sofa's and bars with some friends :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making plans to do a week of hitchhiking around Belgium and 2 days later arriving in Malaga Airport at 03.00 at night,(we passed an airport and ended up taking a lastminute-flight). Then taking the first bus we see with a sign that said 'FREE BUS' and ending up in the middle of nowhere on an abanded parking lot without even knowing where Malaga is situated in Spain.

the story ended with a long walk in the dark accompanied with some good old taxfree rum
