PLEASE:
- Use the "CouchSurf With" button.
- Have look at my , and don't request me when I can't host you.
- Read this whole part!

My place
I live with Sami in an appartment.
I have a convertible bed in the living room (2 pers), and a air mattress (1 pers).
We don't smoke.
I think that between 2 and 5 days is O.K., but I can recommend you another CS if you want to stay longer. (I think 1 day is a bit too short to know someone, but it's O.K.).

Location
My flat is in the very center of Antwerp :
-2 min to a Tram stop
-5 min to the Cathedral
-15 min to the Central train station

My habits
-In the week I work from 8 AM to 5 PM, I don't go to sleep very late.
-In the weekend I usually sleep late, and wake up quite early (2 AM - 9 AM).
-I'm usually working on the CS website after work, if you want to help you're welcome !

My point of view on Hosting
-I am not a hotel. I like to spend some time talking with my guests, learning about new cultures, and sharing traveling tips.
-Food : I can't give food for free to everyone who comes to my place. I don't want to be fed either :) , I think it should be "half-half". It's all about sharing.

Be polite !
-I'm tired of people who send me a request and don't confirm. I answer pretty fast, so please confirm few days after my answer (1 week max). If not I won't consider your request as valid anymore, and won't refuse other people if they request me for the same days.
-I think surfers should read the Couch Informations before asking for a couch, so if you write "Orval" in your request, I'll know that you've read this part. I don't like people who spams and don't even read the profiles..

Personal Description

I'm a French 24 years old guy currently living and working in Antwerp for at least 1 year. I've been studying engineering in La Rochelle (France) since 2004. I grew up and lived in Paris.
I'm quite a busy boy, I don't like when I don't have anything to do. I think I'm a bit of utopist, insomniac, I am hyperactive and traveling addicted.
I LOVE good beers (mostly Belgian ones), I've tried to make my own at home, but that's really hard :D. I often ride my bike on skate parks or on dirt trails. I'm a music lover, I go to concerts or festivals when I can, and I used to "set the sound up" for a friend's band. Bring a hard drive or a USB key if you want some music !
I like to do things that make the day different than the other days. I'm scared of routine


How I Participate in CS

I really love the idea of CS (It changed my way of life and my vision of the world, and developed my traveling addiction), so I would like to help this community. For now I try to surf and host when I can, and try to help the CS community where I live. I also participate in the Contact Us, and as a coordinator in New Member Welcome and in Location Fixing, which takes me a LOT of time.

Quentin and Sami are two of the coolest people on this planet. I was totally blown away by their kindness and warmth, and had so much fun just getting to hang out with them and talk. I really admire Quentin's expertise in and commitment to really good beer. Getting to walk around town with Sami was really chill and fascinating. They also have great friends! Nothing would make me happier than to show you around DC sometime.

Quentin was an amazing host. He generously hosted three of us in his apartment, took us out for drinks, and even shared some of his homeade beer from his cellar. A wonderful person, and I would give him a very positive reference for any other potential surfers. Cheers, -Evan

Quentin and his girlfriend were kind enough to host me at the last minute in their Antwerp flat. I had a great time tasting Belgian beer, wandering around town with Sam, and attending a CS Antwerp event. Quentin really inspired me to get back involved with other parts of CS, and I'm looking forward to working with him on more CS projects!

Quentin (and Sami) was a wonderful host in Antwerpen. He is a master when it comes to Belgian beers and recommendations...so definitely at least meet up with him for a drink! He was a very friendly and welcoming host--we even "cooked" pizza together for dinner one night and went out for drinks with friends! Thanks Quentin!

He made us taste very nice and rare beers and even made Michiel discover a new bar he didn't know in his own city!

And although he was quite tired he offered to watch a movie at his home till 5 am ;)Thank you for your couch and see you at the next CS meeting!

Quentin is just about the perfect CS host. He is extremely friendly and welcomed us (I as traveling with a friend) into his home from the first minute. We had a great time in Antwerp, for a large part due to Quentin. We went to a bar at night and he shared a tiny part of his extensive beer knowledge with us, which was just great. We shared travel experiences and he told us much about his plan for a world trip (which sounds amazing, by the way).
I hope to see him in York someday!

I, along with a friend, stayed with Quentin for one enjoyable night in Antwerp. We shared the evening with a Russian couple who were also Couch Surfing with him, and they cooked a great meal. Quentin shared his Belgian beers with us and although I am not usually a beer drinker I was taught the meaning of real beer! Thanks for a memorable experience in Antwerp, and you are welcome to stay with one or other of us in the UK at any time.

Dur à croire qu'un "BADRIDER" conduise aussi bien un Meeting...

I met Quentin on a CS Group meeting in La Rochelle. He is hell of a good and nice organizer and highly motivated to make a lot of things in the CS community of La Rochelle. If you came here and had a top stay, bet he did something for it !

This was an amazing experience since Quentin was positively devoted to helping me, introducing me to his city and making me feel at home. If I could, I would vote for him as La Rochelle ambassador since he fits the idea so well.

I had an excellent time with Quentin! He's a very down-to-earth dude, and a surprising good biker after just two weeks! He knows beer, he knows how to have a good time. He's a true CSer and knows how to welcome guests. His potes are really cool, I had a great time gettin peshed! I would easily welcome Quentin anytime chez moi, super intelligent, super nice, super human being. Update: we met up in Salzburg and had a super time just taking it easy with a beer on the river, and trying to break into Burger King. See you soon Q!

How could I forget my good friend Quentin! It was truly the best couch surfing experience for me to host Quentin and his travel partner Anthony. We spent some great moments together touring San Francisco. Quentin has allot to offer his hosts when he surfs your couch with good conversation and a generous personality. You can be sure to trust this guy with your home and you will be glad to have him as your friend. You are always welcome here as your home. la bonne vie! ... Ted

La porte de chez Quentin est tjs ouverte pour un couch, non pas uniquement parcequ'il a trafiqué l'interphone, mais parcequ'il sait ce que c'est que de devoir faire 70 km supplémentaire dans son parcours. Roi de la cascade (ou des figures sur BMX au choix) et ardent opposant des altermondialistes pour aller 5 fois par semaine au Mc Do', Quentin est un garçon super organisé par son classement d'albums de musique à en faire palir n'importe quelle radio et par la préparation de son Tour d'Europe 2008 auquel je souhaite un franc succés. Have fun for the future and take care.

Good friend from school, with whom I've done many trips, like a 375 miles long bike trip in France to Spain, and a month round trip around the California (by CS).
Beware, he's a fast-food addicted man, he can kill to have food, especially if it comes from Taco Bell...

Quentin was by far the most quiet couchsurfer we have had to date. i even told him he didn't have to be so quiet and he still was! Incredibly tidy too! He has an awesome taste in music, so if hes listening to tunes, ask him about them! (thank you for all the nifty band recommendations Quentin!) Hes more than welcome to stay with us again.

Il est le premier a plaisanter avec legeretée sur tout et n'importe quoi, mais il sait aussi être sérieux quand c'est nécéssaire. déconneur mais pas con, honette, sociable, attentionné, investis dans ses projets, pour toutes ses raison je nome quentin grand master couchsurfeur of the word. Grand amateur de bières, de bicyclette acrobatique, de voyages, de plein de bonne chose, il est attentionné et sait mettre les gens a l'aise. Vive Quentin.
