Hi,

I'm Lander and I live in Gent (Belgium) and studied at Ter Groene Poorte in Brugge to become a pastry chef. First I started at a bakery, then I went to a pastry shop, then a chocolaterie, worked as a pastry chef in a restaurant but now my one true love, being a barista. So I got a big passion for food and coffee and yeah I have to admit I'm a little bit addicted to coffee, but just a little bit..

Besides that I'm the guitarist and songwriter of the Belgian band Lucid Dream and there's nothing more that I love than standing on that stage...or in the crowd...with my guitar...you get the point.

Love to travel and seek for hidden gems both cultural or nature. To summarize, I enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love traveling on my own or getting to gigs abroad and getting to know some new people Couchsurfing is the perfect manner.

Music, Movies, and Books

This window is just way too small to fit all my favorite music in. But let's say the bands that I listen the most to the last month are Catfish and the Bottlemen, Sam Fender, Shame, The Verve, Oasis, Radiohead and Balthazar. But besides that I do love some good jazz or even the Billie Eilish hype, but mostly old school music. The Beatles, David Bowie, Joy Division, ...

Love movies a lot but don't have a real big favorite. The ones that I do loved the most are Intouchable, Perks of being a wallflower, Deadpool,..

And from series I'm really into Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Taboo, Stranger Things, Altered Carbon. For books I chose cookbooks.
