About Me

Hi! I'm Xavier. A 26-year old event manager from Hasselt, Belgium. I just moved to my own appartment in the city center of Hasselt. let me know if your visiting, I'm not home a lot, mut maybe I can host you and show you around town...

Things that are good to know:
I have a great sense of humor (dumb humor is the best)
I can get along with almost everyone.
I am an atheist, but respect everyone's belief

I'm always up for:
Getting a drink, of get something nice to eat
Meeting new people, seeing new things, exploring
A game. Sport, boardgames, videogames, ... I love them all!

I'm a big fan of:
Pizza and hamburgers
Beer: One of the biggest perks of living in Belgium (not an alcoholic :-) )
Chocolate. Also one of the biggest perks ...
The movies: LOTR, Big Fish and Pulp Fiction
Cooking. I LOVE cooking
Hikes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling with friends. But I also love traveling solo. At least once every two years, I want to spend some time without anyone I know, exploring a country I don't know.
I'm always interested in learning new cultures. I think the best way to do that, is by getting to know locals. Traveling with Couchsurfing enables me to get more out of my travels, and hopefully helps me make new friends!

Why I'm NOT on Couchsurfing:

- Just for a free place to stay. I admit, it's a great perk! But I like meeting new people, I love to get a glimps of a different lifestyle. I like hearing and sharing stories, experiences... I love to share! I'm always willing to donate a contribution (gas, electricity, water, dinner, drinks, ...). But i'm not here just to get a free bed/couch/spot on a floor...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first solo trip was a 4-month trip to the Unites States. I worked as a counselor in a summer camp in Connecticut. After the first three mounts, the summer was over, and I flew to California to do a 4-week long road trip. To this day, one of my best experiences ever!
