I just moved back to Ghent, my hometown, after 12 years!
I think I'll stick around for a few years but I do miss the warmth and plants especially of tropical climates.

Since I got back I did a retraining to software developer and I'm currently working on a project to battle water scarcity in Flanders.

I'm optimistic and often in for a good chat!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, hear what they are passionate about, get to know a place better and more thorough, hear what the life is like in the places you live!
To share adventures!

Currently learning to read and write Thai and always keen on learning more of this amazing language!
