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 DescriptionI'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 CSI 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.

From Guus Hoekman York, United Kingdom Aug 6 Positive 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.

I hope to see him in York someday!

From Hedi Tralla Tallinn, Estonia May 22 Positive A really nice and well-travelled guy, even though he was not feeling too well at the time when we met (me neither :) - but I'm happy you didn't cancel you trip altogether and could spend some time in Tallinn. Plus you were even brave enough to participate in a CS-team meeting that was mostly in Estonian - 12 points for that!
From Olga Rozova Tallinn, Estonia May 22 Positive I met Quentin while he has been in Tallinn. I have not spent with him that much time - but it was great to show him some part of a city! Though to hear some funny stories... ;o) He is polite and respectful person. Absolutely I got some more knowledge on CS and also France!
I wish you Good luck with your trips!

From Jasmin Elagy Osnabrueck, Germany Jul 30, 2008 Positive From the beginning on Quentin was really nice and friendly to us.

From Christian Kreinert Frankfurt am Main, Germany Jul 2, 2008 Positive How to say... I don't really know him well, so why do I "extremely positive" him? The guy is just full of good vibrations. You should check him out.
From Daniel Reiter Nongsa, Indonesia Jul 2, 2008 Positive Calm guy... that's because I partied the previous night until 6 in the morning and didn't really sleep afterwards. Anyway Quentin is a very nice person. We had a couple of Belgian beers at my place. Thanks for forgeting three botlles in my fridge ;-)

From Fabrice Dessup Bordeaux, France Mar 18, 2008 Positive 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.

From Audrey Reed San Francisco, United States Aug 27, 2007 Positive 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!

From Clement Nolleau Paris, France May 8, 2007 Positive 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. |
