Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i did alot of couchsurfing past years, hosting and traveling, always had a lovely time, great to meet new people and learn new things

Interests

My life is equal to my free time,
I worked in the movie distribution (arthouse Cinéart) and now i'm working on different fields (gaming, children animation, text writing, ...) at the BIFFF (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival). When i'm done with work i fill my days with projects around the commons (open source, sharing economy,...), go to concert and love to explore my city in Brussels. I'm working now on a project around cargo bikes and one called huis VDH about repurposing empty buildings.

My passions are:
- movies (all kind but mostly alternative)
- music (going to festivals, listening to one cd a day)
- comic books / manga / bande dessinées
- gaming
- cooking / trying new restaurants / special beers
