I love travelling. I've been an exchange student in the US and Canada, to learn my languages. I've done several volunteering camps, in Lithuania, Croatia and Iceland. I love meeting other people and learning about other cultures.
I like art and I'm studying to be a creative therapist.
My husband and I have plenty of room to host people, but not really a bed, and we've got a big garden surrounded by fields. If you need some rest, it's the place to be. :)
We both like listening to metal, rock, jazz and classical music, reading books, going out for a drink, going to concerts, eating (belgian!) fries and playing with our cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world and want to give others the chance to meet ours.

Music, Movies, and Books

Karolien:
Rock, metal, classical, jazz.
Chopin and Eric Satie, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, Toots Tielemans, Led Zeppelin and Testament, and definitely Prince can rock my world.
My favorite movie would be Amélie Poulin.
I love reading fantasy, like Feist and Auel. But I can appreciate many books, like Dante, or a very simple relaxing book.

Maarten/Metaal:
I like listening to Sabaton, Iron Maiden, grind, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Dio. I can also appreciate Peer Gynt and Toots Tielemans.
I'm a big fan of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
I mostly read fantasy, like Feist. And I love comic books, like Thorgal.
