ABOUT ME

I’m an easy going and open minded person. I enjoy meeting new people and discovering new places. I live in a quiet coastal town. At the moment, I work 9 to 5 as an erp administrator in a food recycling company . In my free time, about everyday I go running on the beach, and swimming in the sea. Furtheron, I practice some yoga, or play a little on my diatonic accordeon (still learning though). I also love going out in nature, cycling or trekking, belgium and abroad! Recently, I'm curious to find out more about van life and remote work ...

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can help travellers around who visit the Belgian coast, Ostend or Bruges. Not sure if I'll be able to host you, as I live at my parents house. For sure I can guide you around, I know many interesting places around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Holland, France, Germany, Portugal, Morocco, Cyprus, ... it's nice meeting local people, spending some time together, talking about lives and dreams ...

Centres d'intérêt

I love big cities: Tokyo, London, Lisbon, and Fez are my favourites so far.
I love nature: sailing a stormy sea, diving in between a school of fish, horseriding over sanddunes.
I can enjoy small things like a cup of tea any time of the day,
and I enjoy interesting thoughts and good books
