I'm a student who's doing his masters in international politics at the Ghent University while at the same time working in a small jazz bar in the city center.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great, I allready had some great persons over who I went to visit later. Not everyone that comes over is going to be a very good friend but nothing but good experiences so far.

Interests

I'm interested in almost anything so getting my attention won't be that hard but if I'd really have to choose my main interests would be, going-out, beer and beer brewing, hiking, climbing, cooking and ofcourse travelling. I also support the football team of Mechelen, KV Mechelen, so if you're into football I could probably fix you a season ticket for a day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done amazing things in almost every place I visited but some of the best were biking on the highway to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv on Yom Kippur. Swimming in the Norwegian Fjords. Drinking Tamango in Turin, running from Asia to Europe across the Bosphorus on the Istanbul Marathon (only the 8km fun run though), sleeping at +4000m in Colombia and diving in the Komodo National Park, Indonesia.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my greatest passions besides politics is beer and of course the combination of the two: discussing politics while having a nice brew. Besides that I could teach you classic Belgian dishes or if you have time maybe even brew a beer with you.
