About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World (when I still can :) )

ABOUT ME

I use to leave home alone but meet people on the way and that's how my trip starts becoming amazing and unexpected. I like to meet easy going, open-minded, funny, unusual, or/and smily people.
And share experiences, ideas, points of view, travel tips, dreams, music, and so on.. That's what life is all about: traveling, meeting, sharing, trying, having fun along the way
I'm travelling less those past few years, mostly because of work, and wanna get back in touch with travel though hosting guests, and meet new people (an old travel habit :) ).

Some stop-motion videos about one of my trips in Asia:

PHILOSOPHY

The Earth is only one country.

I won't know my place in the world unless I see as much of it as I can.

Love can save the world.

Share, this is the key.

_____________________

Trust me
It's Paradise
This is where the hungry come to feed
For mine is a generation that circles the globe
in search of something we haven't tried before
so never refuse an invitation
never resist the unfamiliar
never fail to be polite
and never outstay your welcome

just keep your mind open and
suck in the experience
and if it hurts
you know what... it's probably worth it

you hope, and you dream
but you never believe that
something is going to happen for you
not like it does in the movies
and when it actually does
you expect it to feel different
more visirale
more real
i was waiting for it to hit me

i still believe in paradise
but now at least i know it's not some place you can look for
cause it's not where you go
it's how you feel for a moment in your life
and if you find that moment it lasts forever

it lasts forever
lasts forever..

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host people when I had a flat right in the center of Brussels a couple of years ago, but never surfed (yet) myself.
