About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore! Dream! Discover!
ABOUT ME
So, I grew up in a small town in Belgium and went studying in another small city in Belgium (as everything is small in Belgium right..:)). During and after my studies I went to live in Colombia and Australia where I caught the travel virus! I work for a Belgian company, developing 3D printed medical products I try to explore as much of the world as I can… I am open-minded, like to have people around me although I can also enjoy a quiet moment.
PHILOSOPHY
20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been surfing a couple of times, mainly in Australia and in Spain. All my experiences were positive so I can only recommend people to try it out!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had some memorable couchsurfing experiences in Spain and Australia so far, all of them were in their own way unforgettable. The hospitality and trust amazes me every time again! It s always a bit scary and excitingto walk to this unknown house with this unknown new friend whom you ve been talking to a lot lately, ready for a new adventure! I have made some friends out there which i will never forget. Couchsurfing gives my holidays this extra touch!
Interests
I like adventurous sports like canyoning, climbing, diving, snowboarding and sailing. In the meantime, I enjoy an evening at the bar, good food, a good book and the great concert and festival culture we have in Belgium!
