I come from the flemish (=Dutch speaking) part of Belgium, but I've been living in Izmir, Turkey since June 2012 . I am a researcher and an English language teacher. I like learning new things about the world and about life, I like sportive and cultural activities and having a drink with nice people around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During my travels I met many very nice persons who joined the CS- project. I was immediately convinced that CS was a very lucrative project, 'cause it's based on a win-win principle

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every person you get to meet through the CS-project is different of course, but so far I've only had good experiences
