Originally from Brussels, I have lived and studied in Berlin and Seoul too. I enjoy cycling adventures. I like discussions wherein all parties strive towards opening up their perspectives rather than only defending their own beliefs. That said, I do believe in some things that I find important. Easy going, easily distracted what?

Im currently working full time so especially during the week we might not have too much time to spend together, but if it works out I can show you some places I enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the random company, the stories and sudden friendships. I like seeing how other people live their lives, and since I have plenty of room why not share some of it for a couple of nights. Ive used CS a lot as while doing cycling trips, and I definitely have received some good karma that I’d like to pay back/forward.

Always love to share a dinner if possible!

There's usually coffee & tea in the kitchen, as well as drinkable tap water. If you're a strict bottled water person, please refrain.

At the moment I don’t have an actual COUCH but I have plenty of camping materials (matresses, sleeping bags, etc) for a few people to be comfortable.

People from all walks of life welcome.

If you are interested in staying here, please make some small personal reference to show you have taken the time to read this.
