Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I live in Gent and have a couch available. Not all of the time ofcourse as I like to travel myself from time to time :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE After being on Cs for a while now I can say I have met a great number of people that I've either hosted at my place or met during a Cs activity or whilst travelling. I've heard a great number of stories and done some stuff that I otherwise never would have done. I've surfed and hosted... I'm also active in the Cs community in Gent. I organise events from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
The best is yet to come :)
Teach, Learn, Share
The past 7 years I have been involved and helped coordinating for an NGO that helps refugees. I have learned and shared a lot with refugees. It was an eye opening experience.
My Interests
I like travelling and meeting new people and talk about the things that interest them and how they look at life. My biggest passions are music and reading and ofcourse travelling. I like going to concerts/gigs. From time to time I make podcasts for a friend's radioshow in Gent called Icarus.fm: https://www.mixcloud.com/blessyoube/icarus-b%C3%A8ta-28-06-15/ I also like going to small locals cinemas and discover new films or check out some of the local art.
