CURRENT MISSION

Live and enjoy life without any mission!

ABOUT ME

I live in the most beautiful town of Belgium, Ghent. Whoever told you it is Bruges was bribed by the Bruges mafia.

I'm currently working as a co-writer for a comedy show broadcasted on Belgian television.

Some of my favourite wastes of time are observing people (boy, can't wait until I'm old and can turn this into a full-time job!), strolling around in foreign supermarkets to discover new products & packagings I haven't seen before, reading witty books, eating dark chocolate, drinking red wine, eating dark chocolate whilst drinking red wine (do try it at home!), going to the movies, visiting friends, enjoying a theatre play, danse, circus or cabaret,....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Show couchsurfers around in Ghent and give them a peek in the greatest places you'll never find in a tourist guide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I had my first CouchSurfing experience in Stockholm I was already convinced that discovering a city through its residents gives a holiday an extra dimension. Spending a Saturday night at my host's friends house, playing jeu de boules at Sunday at a hidden location near the water and having the feeling that I was visiting an old friend, made it one of the best holidays I ever had.
I had the same experience on my second and last CouchSurfing trip in Copenhagen (jip, I'm into Scandinavia).
