ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going ,funny and responsible (young) man. I just turned 37 and I'm really enjoying life. Originally I'm from Belgium, but during the winter months i'm not home, i'm organizing festivals in several winter destinations in Europe

PHILOSOPHY

live life to the fullest. And enjoy the ride...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was totally new to the whole CS experience. I still have never hosted before (probably because I don't live in a touristy area) I surfed quite a lot during my USA-trip and I loved it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed around 25 times in the US

Interests

During my studies (Marketing) I worked for a Belgian tour operator, providing guests with an awesome surf/snowboard-trip. This really made studying more dificult for me, because I never wanted to return from these trips. For my internship I went to live in New Zealand, where I worked for a local Rugby Union. There I had the time to get the know the local culture whilst playing rugby and surfing. After 3 months of Paradise I wasn't very keen to go live back in Belgium and I left for France where I worked for an other TO being a rep for students. Awesome job, Ride the mountain all day, party at night..
Recently I worked for Thomas Cook in Menorca, Les Deux Alpes, Ibiza and Les Deux Alpes Again..

Music, Movies, and Books

music: form rock to EDM to Elvis
movies: I love Will Ferell movies. but really almost everything (except horror)
books: I'm not much of a reader

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding with the Full Moon, Unbelievable experience, dining in a restaurant on the glacier at 3600 meters, an then descent to 1600 meters only with the moonlight and an awesome scenery..

Playing rugby in New Zealand with a Maori team, then go for a beautiful sunset on the beach to celebrate the victory...
