Hi travelers

I'm Timo, 41 yo, native Belgian, and a travel-addict.

I call myself a 'slow traveler'. I like to discover in depth and stay long at places and/or with people. I want to learn from your culture, ideas, religion, knowledge, spirituality..

Most of all I enjoy meeting people from around the globe, without any prejudice. Just to hangout and exchange thoughts, discover places, share moments.

At the moment I'm recovering from a bicycle accident. So I have plenty of time to host people.

I also like to travel myself. And by hosting people I also hope to get to meet people who want to host me back, as happened a couple of times before.

While traveling and couchsurfing I try to discover the world, people and their cultures, ideas and religions.
It's also just a great way to live, travel and pass time

-- BY THE WAY --
• I live in GENT, not Brussels
• This is not a (free) Airbnb. I want to get to know my guests and spent some time with them
• Less is more: limit your luggage to one backpack 🎒 I've seen so many travelers struggling with suitcases.
• My '2 days rule': you can request as much days as you want, but I accept only 2 days "tryout". If all goes well, it can be prolonged.
• Showers 🚿: yes it's possible, but please keep them short, I use gas bottles to heat the water. So I'm limited in hot water

Thanks for understanding 🙏

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing it's fun. I'm social and love to meet people.
I avoid hotels because they lack genuine social interaction and are unreasonable expensive

Experiencing the local way of life, other cultures meeting people is what I love so much!

Born to Couchsurf 🦄 😊

I'm a bit shy to cook for visitors. If you are here we can cook something together. I really enjoyed moments with c-surfers cooking together
