"Ik zou heel graag de hele wereld rondreizen".⚡️ I'm a person without nationality, and I'm not talking about the so-called "world citizenship", I'm talking about that I actually don't have a nationality because I'm a refugee. I embrace an open-minded perspective and reject the use of clichés and the practice of categorizing individuals based on factors such as race, nationality, religion, gender, and sexuality. We are all inhabitants of the same planet, and the boundaries that separate us are human-made and political in nature. I believe in recognizing our shared humanity and transcending artificial divisions. I'm currently living in Ghent; the most beautiful city in Belgium and one of the most beautiful in Europe. I'm a perfectionist person, and I'm obsessed with cleanliness and order, I think they call it Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD).😅 I studied Biology, and now I'm doing a bachelor in Business and languages with focus in International Relations. My favorite hobby is photography, and I enjoy traveling to forests and jungles taking pictures so I can bring those amazing landscapes with me and share them with my friends through social networks. My Instagram account is @jasperyores I love outdoors, if there's something I can't live without is definitely the silent and calm which forests and jungles transmit. Such a pity that I couldn't visit the world's tallest, uninterrupted waterfall: "Kerepakupai Vená" (Angel falls). I like extreme sports, I used to practice skate and slackline. I love nature in its more wild and pure expression, without human beings at all. Furthermore, I think everybody should get to know their own country before go to see others, I mean its own beaches, national parks, mountains, rivers, rainfalls, before its "concrete jungles", the cities.

Hello world out there! While i'm (still) a PhD student at the University of Ghent, I now work in Brussels on Energy & Climate policy. I haven't hosted in a while but I'm considering to give it another try in the next few months. It's always been fun in the past! :) A lot has changed since I started couchsurfing 10 years ago. So here's an update on what you could expect. I still live in a central location in Gent. (Lookup: Sint-Anna-Plein) I get to share it now with my wife Amelia and our dog Baloo: a friendly cocker-spaniel enjoying his first year of life. If you have allergies to dogs (or gingers), I would not recommend ;) I prefer short term or even last minute requests over those further in the future. I consider every polite request for one or two nights with a maximum of two people. Longer stays are not possible. Feel free to reach out! P.S. my pictures are about 5 years old, will upload new ones when I feel like it :)

Starving to see the world and always in for an unexpected adventure. I love to travel the unwalked paths. I appreciate taking my time. I'm always in for a nice conversation.

Artist/ Art student in Ghent :) I travelled for some months after graduating my bachelor studies in Antwerp, In Antwerp I used to live in a communal artist house/ atelier space with 5 other people on one floor and 15 amazing people in total. It used to be a factory-like building and the 'landlord' build everything in here himself together with other people to make it atelier spaces for artists to live together, work together, party together and really be a constantly changing community. Since I have moved to Ghent to continue my Master studies, I have rented a vacant building that I want to share with friends, travellers and artists in a similar way as the place I lived in Antwerp! Trying to build a community-like house that is busy with art and human connection, it is truly an adventure and a big learning opportunity for me! I am working on my master thesis right now that focuses on collective living and working as artists so my work and life really become one (in a nice way!) After finishing my masters I hope to travel full time for a year or two (or three,...) and my biggest dream is to live with my dog in a camper van! (but first, I have to learn how to drive a car...)
