ABOUT ME

Hello,

My name is Richard and I've had some traveling experience around the world, but right now I've got a more stable life in Belgium. Currently I'm working a nice job as team coach and hope to use couchsurfing only when I'm on a short trip. My main goal is to get to know the place I visit not through things you look up on the internet or visiting all the famous sites, but by getting to know people who can show me a thing or two. The most fun experiences I had weren't because of the location, but because of the people I met.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep learning and experiencing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At my previous place in Ghent I hosted a few couch surfers. We usually went out for some drinks and enjoyed the sights, sometimes followed by a visit to a club. I haven't gone couchsurfing myself yet

Interests

Electronic music, staying fit, movies, nature, outdoor activities, philosophy, engineering, tasty food, cats

I would also like to work on my language skills. I've been cleaning up my french a little but it is still basic. I tried to pick up a bit of Spanish and German.
