About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting motivated to do my dishes.

ABOUT ME

A real stressless, go with the flow kind of guy. Able to adapt to all kinds of persons and situations. My patience has no limits as I am the king of relativising.

Don't mistake me for a pushover though. I have my limits but to be honest, no one has ever got me that far.

PHILOSOPHY

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life . . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm able to host, show people around when I have the time and can give general information about Antwerp, places worth visiting and cool things to do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed quite some couches by now and had some people surf mine as well. The experiences you have traveling the CS way are truly unique and amazing and that's why couch surfing is the no. 1 way to travel for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from Riga to Antwerp in merely 2 days. The generosity on the road was truly unseen for me personally. People just kept giving me food and cigarettes!

The first thing I do when I get home after work is kick my shoes off. Because I walk a lot at my job I really like to give my feet a 10 min rest after I get home. A few months ago, crossing the last street before arriving at my apartment, I noticed one of my shoelaces was untied. I didn't mind because I was almost home. But when I actually got home I noticed the second shoelace got untied as well! Best. Timing. Ever.

Appreciate the little things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could try to make our national dish. Or translate some native jokes so we can test if they remain funny. Or I can maybe offer you my first-born son (maybe that's too much lol)
