CURRENT MISSION

Discover and create a new world

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and curious person that likes to meet other people and discuss and experience about anything. I used to do photography as a student, now I have learned to play double bass. Welcoming guests is an honour, being guest with somebody else is a pleasure.

This Summer, I am going to visit the fascinating country called Japan. When I was fine, I played with Japanese kids living temporarily in the Netherlands. Since then, I met both Japanese people and Dutch people that had been regular visitors of Japan. All told me interesting stories. I am looking forward to experience this world myself.

PHILOSOPHY

In a nutshell: be ready and open to engage with other people and everything that you did not expect. Then you may create a better world together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I find it a marvellous idea. I am happy to welcome guests and to share experiences and stories

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fine! Meeting people in Japan (including a dance & music workshop), welcoming guests in Breda and in Brussels.

And a long time ago, making friends by staying overnight with other people, previously unknown, in Belgium in Rumania and elsewhere. (there was neither internet nor couchsurfing in 1991-1993)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While travelling to Rumania, we met some people at a summer festival at the Hungarian side of the border. We were invited, got the address of friends in the next town in Rumania. Then we participated in a summer camp of a political party, through which we were filmed and appeared on television in Hungary

Teach, Learn, Share

in addition to patent skills I recently gave a workshop on Camus
