About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life today more than yesterday

ABOUT ME

Since my teenage years I was already travelling a bit around Belgium with my backpack and tent. Camping in the Ardennes and hiking my way around. When I got 18 I left for Australia. My "walkabout" over there lasted 4 months. Probably the trip that shaped me most.
Ever since I always wanted to make long travels. By working in IT, saving for 1 or 2 years and quit the job, I could make this happen.

For over 10 years I'm a fulltime vegetarian. I used to try to convince other people about the logic, but am a bit more relaxed about it now.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is relative. It's only the perspective that matters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started, but would like to meet a lot of new people. This way we can exchange ideas and become a bit more open minded on our little planet...

Interests

I like mountain biking (cross country, downhill), rock climbing (has been a while) and just being lazy on a terrace or in my garden.
I don't have to mentoin travelling I guess?
