HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I like to meet new people and I like to show them around in Ghent. So if you want to have a nice time in Ghent and you need a place to stay just let me know and we can see if we can figure something out. If you don't need a couch but you want meet somebody to show you around in Ghent or you just want go for drinks you can always let me know too ;-) When I am not hosting or travelling I try to join couchsurfingmeetings and gatherings and occasionally organise some couchsurfingmeeting myself.
