About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience everything and regret nothing

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 years old and I actually love my life 😁. I'm constantly looking for some new people and adventures. I believe that this is how you get new perspectives for your life as well as how you broaden your mindset. This is your genuine growth - not based on moving up in the corporate ladder or buying another car but on understanding other people.

The world is really amazing and meeting new people is something I really love to do. I am easy going, gregarious and open-minded person. I like to laugh a lot and hope to spend some really hillarious moments with you holding a cold beer in hands. Also, I am very much into striking some deep conversation about politics, history, economy, linguistics and other serious stuff playing chess at the same time :)

When I travel, I usually hitchhike - I estimate that I hitchhiked more than 20 000 km with around 200-300 drivers and I don’t wanna stop 😊

When I don’t travel, I live dynamically in Brussels, doing sports, meeting people, learning new stuff and doing traineeship at the European Commission. Therefore, not every time I will have time to show you the city around because I work during the day but in the evenings I will be happy to go out :)

In your request please indicate why you would like to stay at my place 👌

I am also an electronic music fan so we can go to some techno club if you wanted to :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never try. Just do.

If you want to do something, you will find a way; if you don't want to - you will find a reason.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Time doesn't change things. Doing things changes things. Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were.

A ship is safe in a harbour, but that is not what ships are made for.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was partying on Ploegendienst Techno Festival in Breda in Holland thanks to DJ Egbert who picked me up when I was hitchhiking. He offered us free VIP entry, free drinks, meals and a lot of fun with crazy people 😄

I used to play accordion at the weddings 🪗

I slept in caves in Tenerife staying with people who live out of the capitalist system
