About Me

Born in Belgium, moved to the UK and now currently in Saudi Arabia. In that time I have lived in many cities! I like to use this famous quote to refer to the constant movement:

"So, you think traveling is your ally. You merely adopted the experience; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't stick to one country until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but the NORM!" - Bane the traveler

I cannot stick to one place for more than 6 months! I can say for sure that I love traveling, it's the exposure, the opportunity to open your mind and meet people with different cultures, perspectives, and experiences.
I strive for the taste of adventure whether it's hiking, parasailing, camping, kayaking, whatever gets the blood pumping! On the other hand, I do enjoy art and history, absorbing the past of previous generations.
Animal-friendly & one thing is for sure... I LOVE FOOD!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the amazing people out there who put their trust in me, invite me into their homes and give me the most memorable experiences

Interests

Japanese culture

Music, Movies, and Books

Plot twists. All my favorite stories (books, movies, manga, etc..) have events which I cannot predict.

I listen to music that makes me move my body (EDM is one genre). Bobbing my head to some rap and recently I've been getting into Frank Sinatra!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Motivated students in my university to exercise and conducted multiple workout sessions with at least 30 people! Good times! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XJlK_0RlSM

Teach, Learn, Share

Graduated a mechanical engineer, working in management consulting. I'm still discovering what I like. I have taken a TESOL certification to travel Asia and teach English! The suited up desk life is not for me, I believe that life experiences are the best lessons. And who better to learn from than the people you meet in travels!
I am fascinated by the study of social psychology and the role of culture in developing different/similar personalities. Talk to me about entrepreneurship.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my smile, it is free to give yet priceless. I've noticed that it is difficult not to return :)! I will definitely stay in touch and if you ever come to the country I am living in I will not take no for an answer! Let's share interesting discussion and FYI I've been told my apple pies are delicious.
