About Me

hello i am Bram, 33, and I am a really outgoing kind of person. I have respect for all different kind of people and enjoy the simple things in life. I enjoy drinks with friends, dancing, having or cooking a good dinner. I love music and i play a bit myself. I am not a hippie but I am not interested in bling bling or material stuff.
I enjoy being around people, but i am also really at peace to be on my own. I like discovering things and places on my on pace, sharing is always nice ofcourse but i always try to take as less space as possible or not to make people feel they need to take care of me.
In my daily life i go out a lot to see exhibitions and concerts, so when i travel i like to do the same, but then combined with some relaxing on a beautiful beach or at some nice scenery or terrace.
My job as a social worker makes me meet with people who are new in belgium from around the globe, i try to help them find a better life, so i think i am quite kind-hearted as a person.

My profile is not verified because i don't use VISA or paypal, all my hotels or flights i use my friends cards to book. But if u want i can send u a copy of my id or have a videochat! Or ask my friends here if I am real!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel soon and so I am also opening my home to get to know the system! And also because I have been hearing the nicest stuff about people visiting places and staying with couchsurfers. I am living in quite a big appartment that i used to share (will leave in november) so some extra people around from time to time can be nice!
