working at the port of Antwerp as a crane operator and publishing books on sports car racing of bygone days, mostly on the 1950s, when I'm not working; I also collect photo negatives and transparencies on car racing having gathered about 50,000 originals - the main part on racing just before and after world war II -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

we - my wife and me - love to visit other countries, experience different cultures ... mostly we try to do this from inside out, get off the traditional 'tourist' path; trying to meet local people and get the real taste instead of staying 'safe' in luxurious hotels - next to traveling around in Europe we covered Morocco by car, we did India by train, travelled to California several times ..
