A Danish friend of mine described me once as ... "germanspeaking halfchinese philippino originated belgian architect and engineer".

I'd describe myself as curious, openminded, widehearted, a little epicurean and a bit stoic at the same time, often wondering looking to the world and me inside, ...

I love improving my tango skills, practicing yoga, to spend time painting (acrylic), live sketching, learning and exploring new things, ... and travelling.

I live with my Love and Partner Xenia in the germanspeaking part of Belgium (yes - that exists!), in a little town just at the boarders of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany - and Luxembourg is not that far. So the place is a really good base for exploring eg Aachen (D), Maastricht (NL), Liège (B) which are all less then an hour away and public transport connection is good.

Live Now! No, Live!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As Eupen is a bit off the spot, there are not a lot of people asking for a couch here around. Though i had some guests sometimes and I guess, they enjoyed the place.

Often I enjoy just meeting new people frome the place that i travel to, enjoying time, drinks and a meal with them.

Algo increíble que he hecho

After a warm and heavy summer rain on the island of Vis in Croatia, seeing the rainbow's foot moving down the hill towards the sea, sliding light and bright and colourful over the bay into the open water while the sun was teasing us again as we were sitting together for a goodbye momentum waiting for a ferry that arrived so late ... So late that we just reached the open sea when the sun set and had disappeared when no land was anymore to see ...
