My name is Maarten De Hauw, a young and dedicated young man who likes to meet other people and share knowledge and experiences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to get to know lots of different people in different places, willing to share their culture, habits and knowledge with me. Nothing makes you appreciate and explore a country to the fullest than locals telling you about the hidden treasures!
I also want to make new friends, cause you never have enough friends!

Interests

I like books, mostly thrillers and big literary works, like G.M.M. Maquez, Fuentes, Vargas Llosa, .. mostly Latin American and Spanish writers.

• festivals
• cooking

Music, Movies, and Books

Big reggae fan, and I like to listen to jazz in the evening, it helps me think and relativate things.

As mentioned earlier, I enjoy thrillers and books that carry a message.

A moderate movie fan, I do like to watch documentaries and movies about travelling or psychological things, like into the wild, basketball diaries, cowspiracy, ..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

MEETING YOU!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach people if I have opportunity.
I speak a fair amount of languages and know a few things about survival, being a Scout in Belgium for 14 years. I'd love to share my dreams and opinions, being open to talk about yours and discuss them in a nice, kind and understanding manner!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a responsible, laid back and easy going guy, always up for a laugh and ready to work with people anywhere anytime to help them achieve their goals.
I speak 4 languages, learning a fifth at the moment so I can probably help you out if you want to learn more about a language.
I can cook, above average without trying to be cocky, so if you want me to I'd be happy to cook you a meal!
