One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) I regard every person and every place I see as an amazing thing. We’re all so different. That diversity makes live till a better place and I hope one day I can meet you….

2) One time I played guitar on the E40. It’s one of the main Highways in Belgium. There was a traffic jam and I wanted to cheer up the drivers. So I went from car to car with my guitar and played some songs.

3) When you contact me for a couchrequest. Use 'hey Muffin' as opening line. Just to check if you read my profile and to know if you are really interested in meeting me.

4) Want to see the tower of the Notre Dame - Paris. But there was a too long line and you have to pay around 15 euro. If you want to know the story ask when you see me. :)

5) Went visiting North-Korea
