CURRENT MISSION

Being more actively involved in Couchsurfing (it has been 4 years since i had checked my profile), Accelerate social impact, and Challenge people to be more open towards other cultures and life visions

ABOUT ME

I'm curious and absolutely loving life, with its ups and downs. Currently living back in my hometown Gent after living for some years in Portugal and also in São Tomé and Principe (two amazing island on the west coast of Africa), while travelling all around the world. I feel therefore influenced by lots of cultures and who I am today is made up by different selfs, each one with its own culture, values and habits :-).

I just love to meet new people and do crazy things and out of my comfort zone. Frequently searching for the next challenge and 'unfrequently' taking an easy road. Thinking a lot about life and society and how I can create value in it, for myself and others.

PHILOSOPHY

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned as to have the life that is waiting for us." Joseph Campbell

"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."
Albert Einstein

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." George Bernard Show

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed once in China, but never became an active member.. want to change that!

Intereses

I love to meet new people and do crazy things. I'm super interested in social entrepreneurship/ social business and innovation and believe it's a viable and sustainable way to change the world we live in today.

Things as cultural diversity, mindfulness and meditation, sustainable tourism, photography, film and the life walk of each person, nearby and beyond interests me tremendeously.
