Hi, i'm Joachim, born in Bruges, Belgium. I'm an open minded guy who likes to travel and learn about other cultures

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few years ago i was having a drink with some friends in Bruges when we met some tourists talking about couch surfing. One led to another and they stayed two nights in my house. We had a great time and i discovered a great way to meet new people, learn about their culture, their food, their music, their customs. Also a great way to travel and really discover other places in the world. That's why i decided to get on couchsurfing and try to host people when i'm on holiday and not traveling myself
