About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my passion and learn from others.

ABOUT ME

I am an engineer since 2012. Since then, I worked as waiter, business consultant, sport instructor, teacher, bike mechanist. Now, I found a nice balance between teaching mathematics in high school and fixing bikes.
After living in several countries and traveling in many others, I decided to stay in Belgium and begin another type of travel by hosting travelers from everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met people in Madrid thanks to CS and I would like to offer opportunity to the people visiting Brussels to create local friends as well. I know how hard it can be to arrive in an unknown city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For now, I only surfed but expecting many other experiences to come. I also hosted some people via the WarmShower website.

Interests

My interests are mostly sport, teaching and travel. I am interested in all kind of outdoor sports as running, biking, hiking, kayaking, ...

I traveled a lot already in all continents except Asia. Now I would like to travel less to discover more in Europe by train, bus or hitchiking. Some day, I would like to do a world round trip but for now I try avoiding regular long flights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw terrific landscapes in most of my travels so the things I found most amazing were the people I met. I would rate a travel by the level of home spirit of its autochtones. In this category, I particularly enjoyed Spain, Peru and Poland.
Still one of my best travels was in South America, with my brother, by bike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A drink, a tour ? Some interesting discussions ? A couch, for sure!
