About Me

CURRENT MISSION

understanding, feeling, living as much as possible without being selfish or indifferent to people, animals and the planet

ABOUT ME

I am stable, non confirmative, stubborn, trustworthy and very curious. I never give up, and always want to reach my goals!

PHILOSOPHY

Learning about the complexity of 'the existing' (nature, universe, human psyche) and the complexity of 'the created' in 'the existing' (politics, economics, poverty) and how those 2 interact with each other. Unfortunately, the more you know, the more you realise you know hardly anything;-).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As far as I know, Ghent has one the most dense CS spots of the world, so the general idea of CS is well spread.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A travel to zurich for a week or so and an Eastern Europe trip of 3 weeks with interrail. This won't be the last time you hear of me!!

Interests

Human bodycoordination (think of tricks, gymnastics, snowboard, etc.), salsa, piano, nature, global politics about development, the environment, european movies, questions of life, hiking, etc.
