CURRENT MISSION

Make ourselves a beautiful homehouse...

ABOUT ME

We met eachother at University in Gent, during a student trip to Prague! Since February 2005 our relationship took a take-off in wonderfull Prague...

PHILOSOPHY

This quote comes from a teabox of Celestial Seasonings, by John Ruskin. I really like the way he talks about "Life's Essentials"... Much better put than I can ever write it down. (that's why I love quotes so much!)

"There are three material things, not only useful, but essential to life. No one 'knows how to live' till he has got them. These are pure air, water, and earth. There are three immaterial things, not only useful, but essential to life. No one knows how to live till he has got them also. These are admiration, hope and love. Admiration - the power of discerning and taking delight in what is beautiful in visible form and lovely in human character; and, necessarily, striving to produce what is beautiful in form and to become what is lovely in character.
Hope - the recognition, by true foresight, of better things to be reached hereafter, whether by ourselves or others; necessarily issuing in the straightforward and undisappointable effort to advance, according to our proper power, the gaining of them.
Love - both of family and neighbour, faithful and satisfied."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting, surfing and meeting in Gent, to show people around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Eef did exchange in Gorinchem in Holland, the sister-city of Sint-Niklaas (my actual hometown!). She slept in a host-family & met people from Italy, France, Germany and Holland. She only has three words for it: It was GREAT

She couchsurfed for the first time in Sicily, with the wonderful Cinzia. It was a very special experience!

Together we hosted two times so far and each time we had a fantastic time with our surfers.
