About Me

I'm a bearded traveler that likes exploring new cultures. I started traveling to reboot my life, but now I got addicted to it.

I did some couchsurfing in Taiwan and now I can't believe I never used this app before!

I'm 27 and come from Belgium where I worked in advertisement where I did some 3D modeling and some movie editing.

Because I wanted something else I started working in a restaurant where I was a cook.

If you choose me as your couchsurfer,
I would be honored to stay in your home for a night or more.
And I will respect all requests made.
Other than that I hope we can have some fun and get to learn about each others culture.

Greetings,
Maarten.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Somebody told me I should start couchsurfing.
I started looking into it and now I think it's crazy that I didn't do it before.
It's such an amazing way to meet new people and really dive into their culture and soak it up.

I hope you choose this straydog to invite me into your house for a night or more.

Interests

I'm from Belgium, that's why i love different types of beer.
I'm (not) an alcoholic! ;)

I love to do long trekkings in the mountains. I found this out about 8 months ago when I was in beautiful New Zealand.
Another thing i love, but didn't know before was surfing. I did a surfcamp in Australia and since then I'm hooked.
I surfed a lot a few months later in Taiwan too.
There are no surfspots where I live, so I don't get to practice a lot. Probably by now I need to learn everything again..

Too much movies, too much already forgotten.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once had to run from a wild boar in the jungle of Australia.
