Last three years, we renovated our house on the outside of the center of Ghent. We are finally up for some travelling of our own now and are looking forward to our trip to Italy in May. We try to travel as durable as possible, so we pay more to go by train.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On our last big trip, we got the chance to stay with lots of very nice hosts (Germany x2, Poland, China x2, Laos, Iran x2). We are so grateful for all the warm welcomes of these hosts, we want to open up our house for sufers as well and try to send out the same positive vibes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling from Belgium to South-East-Asia and back again without taking a plane but only using public transportation like busses, trains and hitch-hiking. Read about it (in Dutch) or watch our pictures on www.tangatanga.com/freekeninge

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach sports (salsa and soccer), languages (Dutch, English and French)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook/bake some delicious things (if we can find the ingredients), we are amazingly good dishwashers, we like to play cardgames (some we learned in China and Russia) and can teach you those as well, we are very good listeners - especially when you talk about your travels-...
