CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world by motorbike!

ABOUT ME

Gert grew up in Essen, a small town near Antwerp city. He studied in this city (social nursing) and lived here for 5 years.

Liesbeth grew up in Kalmthout, also a small town near Antwerp. She studied in Gent (Orthopedagocic scıences).

Two years ago we both took a gap year and travelled for one year around the world. This tasted for more... Now we are going to SE-Asia by motorcycle.

PHILOSOPHY

'Live is truly generous for the one who lives his own legend!'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After hearing great stories about extremely hospitable couchsurfers, we immediatly made a cs-profile.
Now we have used CS a few times in Turkey and Iran. We met a lot of nice people!

Interests

We both like travelling (of course...). We always have been a bit restless and liked to discover new roads. But now we are looking for a sunny, nice place to settle down. We only know that this place isn't Belgium!

A little bit more about us:
Gert worked three years as a schoolnurse. He likes football (non-active as a Club Brugge fan and active as a goally). He likes to cycle and drive motorcycles. He reads a lot, especially about adventurous travelling.
You can make Gert happy with: a sunset, a viewpoint, some nice company and a cool beer!

Liesbeth worked as a family consult and she teached children with autism.
In her free time Liesbeth tried to maintain a small vegetable garden, she has an 'active' dog (that now is in the good care of her mother). Important: Liesbeth is addicted to chocolates :-)
On Saturday Liesbeth normally goes to an atelier and introduces children from 6 to 12 years old into a world full of imagination and creativity (verbal,drama,word, dance and image expressions).

We both like to eat and love to discover new tastes. We are experiencing that the world has great food to offer (our bellies are showing it!).

Music, Movies, and Books

We really like a wide range of music. To hard to name them all...
You really can make us happy with some new 'tunes'.

Because of the Belgian rainy weather we often watch movies and series (Belgian tv doesn't have much to offer...). Some movies we really like: Amélie Poulin, Gegen dıe Wand, slumdog millionaire, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Caroline, Walk the line, The kite runner, Flight of the concords (!),...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When you feel you're just a tiny tiny piece of one big completeness...
Standing on a top of a volcano, discovering new tastes, standing in front of architectural monuments,... All those moments giving you the pimples!
