I am a former military personnel and freelance translator who lives in Brussels. I had been using CouchSurfing mostly for hosting but now would like to surf in and around Belgium, especially small towns with hidden gems.

To me, CouchSurfing is not about free accommodation but about discovering a place with locals and share stories over a drink.

I also would love to host you here in Brussels especially for the weekends as I don't have time to spend with you during the weekdays.

Although I had to sell my motorbike to be able to buy a car, I like riding, running, listening to music, seeing new places and getting to know new people.

Hopefully, my path crosses with as many people as possible, and you would be one of them.

P.s. I dont have any "hidden Easter eggs" in my profile, unlike other CSers who like to receive personalized requests :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

best way to practice my English, good opportunity to meet someone new, great idea to keep your home clean and tidy :)
