About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is not to be a 'standard' person

ABOUT ME

as a son of a farmer, I've grown up in Hamont, a little town in the north of Belgium. This has somehow made me the person who I am today. With a love for 'the open world' but also a curiosity towards the big city life, since I've never really known this.

I try my best to be as curious as I can about anything, but I sometimes tend to fall into the brainless zombie-like TV staring life most people live in. This is also one of the reasons I think it's important to keep moving in life.

PHILOSOPHY

Hard question.

I do have a quote I like though:
"I didn't fail, I just found 10.000 ways that don't work", not really sure who it is from though!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only joined this community recently, but I really like the concept of it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Toronto for two days, and will soon be traveling to NYC, Boston, Philadelphia and Stockholm, hopefully I will find some places to stay!

Interests

My interests seem to change a lot the last few months. It changes when I hear interesting stories from people, changes when I see things I like, changes every time I get to a new place. Right now I'm into diving, traveling and I've always been interested in music.

Basically, anything can interest me as long as it is explained or shown in an entertaining way.

  • animals
  • tv
  • traveling
  • music
  • scuba diving
  • paragliding

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical preference has changed quite a bit over the years. From pop to metal to classical rock to postrock to postmetal and singer-songwriters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've helped to put some animals on this world. Milked some cows. But I also have a bad memory, which I hate about myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to do a backflip without landing on my head. Also, I want to learn how to paraglide (making work of this myself)
