CURRENT MISSION

Getting some balance but not at the cost of living :-)

ABOUT ME

I am Willeke. Love people and especially open-minded persons.
Travel at least once a year to one of my dream countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Being one step out of your comfort zone gets you comfortably happy and is good for creativity.
And I love the word SONDER because each person is a univers to discover. Nice!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host people and show them our Belgian culture and try to be relax and caring to guests. Guests can stay in the house but we live with 6 people. Big house but respect for the roomies is needed...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted more than surfed. Every time a positive experience. Learned a lot each time and all the people until now had strong opinions, open minds and had very interesting stories to listen to.
This year I surfed for the first time in Den Haag, Netherlands and it was just as good as I expected.
