About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working around the world and looking for a couch to sleep during my time off or offering a couch when I'm home.

ABOUT ME

Hi,

The perfect description is always very hard to give but I give it a try. I'm a very open minded person and I have strong interest in discovering other cultures and persons around the world. I'd like to have a chat with tea but I can also enjoy and nice party with very good dancing vibes. You can find it both and I find them both very interesting. I'm currently working and during my student and working life, I have lived together with several people, mostly in Belgium and currently in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area. Most of my housemates told me that I'm a very positive and enthusiastic person. I agree and I hope you will do as well. I'm not the best cook in the world but I enjoy making dinner for more people than only myself. My salads and potato recipes are worthwhile to be checked.

I have green in my mind meaning I ride the bike where I can or I run through the streets while heading for a new adventure. I need to confess that I used a car for a long time but currently I live without and it feels great. I hope to keep it that way. You can please me with chocolate, a chat or a shared lunch (I'd be happy to cook it), I can please you with a nice lindy hop or other partnered dance if you are interested. I like to discover the world and one way to do this is by meeting other and interesting people all over the world. Feel free to contact me if you are into it, I hope to make it whortwhile and interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the life you want to live and do it for 100% without having regret!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I lived in Brussels, I could easily host people since I/we lived in a big house. Currently I do not have a (shared) house myself so I cannot host but I can always try to find a host. I look for places where I can surf the couch when I leave on vacation within the US or elsewhere. Of course, once I settle and I find my own spot, I restart the hosting function of my account and you are more than welcome to contact me

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people in Belgium through my own contacts and the contacts of my housemates. We always tried to share thoughts, to have a dinner, to dance in our living room or to have a beer in one of the surrounding pubs. I think our visits loved it. I surfed some couches within the past years but I stopped for several years and the time is there to take it back up!

Interests

My main interests are sport (biking, running & swimming), dancing (social and solo dance) and meeting other people and listen to their stories and thoughts. I love to speak with people who live the life that I want to live: A life as a dancer or a life with adventures or a life as a celebrated and inspiring professional worker or a green life in many ways. It inspires me and helps me in growing myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies that inspire, music that makes you move and dance, books that trigger poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed once on a dance stage and the crowd cheered my name afterwards. I was very rewarding. I loved it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you swing/blues/salsa dance. I would love to learn another language, I can teach you Dutch/French/English. I share, I love it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, a chat, a drink, a dance, a run, a dream.
