I love life.

I teach in exciting Brussels, know bipolar Antwerp quite well, and live in cute and tiny Lier.

Up for a real taste of Belgium?

(Happily married, often on the road, and into meeting a wide range of diverse and interesting people.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on Couchsurfing for over 15 years now, and the main reason is to meet the many interesting people of our beautiful planet.
