About Me

Hi! I'm a father of two wonderful children. I would be happy to host anybody who wants to come and see Ghent.

I work for a bicycle leasing company in Belgium. I also worked for a greater sustainability and better customer service. Entrepreneurship feels fulfilling, but sometimes also scary and exhausting.

Besides doing my part for the environment I want to lead a happy life, meet people and explore new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once made a trip to Malmö: excellent experience, nice host
