About Me

CURRENT MISSION
After a few years working as an architect in Belgium, doing a "pause" and enjoying the world with my friend.
No deadline for this trip.
After that, find a place to stay and become a carpenter.

ABOUT ME
Open-minded, motivated, curious,...
Let's imagine that I'm Italo Calvino's Baron in the Trees !
Idealist and passionate, sometimes melancholic, but dreamer above all !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For a few years now, it was not possible for me to host anyone in the places I lived in, because of some flatsharing rules.
As an host, I used to show the city to the traveller, share some time and some drinks, cooking and enjoying the time in the city as much as possible. Good communication helps to share a good experience.

As a traveler - especially for the trip we're doing now - Couch surfing is a way to meet people who believe in non-traditionnal ways of travelling and human richness above all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has always been a very good experience for me to be hosted, sleeping at a couch surfer's place with some friends of mine.
After a few trips enjoying the community, I hosted a few people. Always great experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been travelling one month with two friends of mine in Spain.

Meanwhile, I was the best boy in one of them's mariage...
This friendship is a great adventure ongoing.
