ABOUT ME

Who am I? Maarten Vanhaverbeke, born in 1984, living in Gent, Belgium. Historian by name, bicycle mechanic by deed, aspiring photographer by mind. Every once in a while I get to complete one of my traveling dreams – with or without my bicycle.

I'm currently riding my bicycle through Canada from Halifax to Vancouver! You can read more about me and this trip on my blog:

PHILOSOPHY

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
