Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Definitely! Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends Shared Room: DependsOn my couch there can stay 2 peeps. I have 1 mattress with all the sheets etc... included. And if you have a tent, the garden is yours :) There are a Queen and a King ( Mom and Dad )in the other part of the house, so even I must respect that. - if three Surfers wish to share the room then they can determine their own sleeping arrangements/combinations - fine by me.. if they can't do this, then the Couch will be determined as accomodating just two surfers...easy
...before you read about my Couch - is your profile complete? I am only interested in hosting those who have made the effort to complete their profiles...(including a photo so that i can recognize you..)
The very nature of CS has trust at its heart and, at a minimum, i would prefer to offer my couch to someone who has been at least verified to Level 1, given a reference or has friends in their Friends List... I see verification as a simple method to communicate to each other that we are indeed who we say we are. That said, if you are not verified, have no References or Friends I will happily meet with you over coffee and determine from that meeting if my Couch is available, appreciating that everyone has to start somewhere.
I don't ask for your ID or passport, but if you want to see mine, then I gladly show it. Just so that we both can feel a little more secure.
My quarters, is at the left side of the house. They have a very big house, with a large garden, chickens, beautiful trees and flowers.
Ideally, if you are with a car, making your way up or down Turnhout, then this would be a perfect location for a stopover. If you are travelling by bus ( Antwerp -Turnhout )then it is possible to stop over, being dropped in VLIMMEREN (5 mins away) for me to collect you, so that you can stay for a day or two before continuing your journey.
If you come by train, then your stop will be in Turnhout, (20 mins) for me to collect you, so that you can stay for a day or two before continuing your journey.
Turnhout is small, so transport isn't required whilst you are here, as everything is within walking distance. If i'm not busy studying I very much enjoy showing folks around, exploring the local attractions.
BTW My couch has NO strict NonSmoking policy ... but - I prefer outdoors if possible!
and, all that being said, it might help to re-read:
1) How to write a Couch request and maybe also:
2) How to be a good guest
3) ...as it is through these guidelines that i am happy to host...
FAQS :
Q: What part of town do you live in?
A: I live in Beerse ( 25 Km away from Turnhout )
Q: How many people live with you?
A: Mom and Dad, 1 dog (Labrador) and 6 chikkens
Q: What is your couch/floor/bed like?
A: A mattrass, a comfy couch and .... :)
Q: Public transportation?
A: Bus to Vlimmeren, train to Turnhout
Q: Can you show people around? Or, are you busy working?
A: I love showing folks around !!.
Q: Do you prefer to go to bed early or late?
A: Depends on how interesting you find me - just start to yawn if you feel sleepy..
Q: Best times that you can host? Weekdays? Weekends?
A: Any time that i'm around and willing really
Q: Do you have blankets?
A: Yep
Q: How many nights are too many?
A: Two is OK then ... hey, let someone else have a turn..
My couch is Tent friendly, so if you want to stay in your tent, then 25 tents are welcome in the big garden.
As we are adults, we can honestly speak about breakfast, dinner and so on.. But, don't think its a free hotel where you can do whatever you want. PLEASE ask something.. please
10 Ways to Improve Your Couchsurfing Odds
Although the number of surfers seems to be growing exponentially, hosts have to be particular when choosing who to allow in their homes.
10. Get Verified
Yes, Couchsurfing does require you to pay $25 to get level three verification, but this is a small price to pay; you’re donating to an excellent cause and ensuring people know you’re genuine.
9. Post Plenty of Pictures
It’s always suspicious when your CSing (CouchSurfing) profile lacks any kind of personal touch; where are the pictures of you smiling with friends, family, coworkers? Let other travelers know you’re social, and capable of having fun when the occasion calls for it.
8. Couchsurf with Friends if you have no References
Plenty of people on Couchsurfing won’t take anyone who doesn’t have at least one glowing reference. Granted, we all have to start somewhere, so get your friends to show the world you are capable of crashing in unfamiliar surroundings without incident.
Ask people you know to sign up with CSing and add you to their friends list. An even better choice might be to try surfing locally. Although you certainly have a place to stay in your hometown, there’s no reason you cannot learn from the perspectives of other locals, and since you don’t live thousands of miles away, they might be more inclined to let you stay and build your reference list.
7. Allude to Exciting Travels Abroad
Sharing at least one preview of your travels on a CSing profile can go over well in finding a place to stay. Those offering to host may want to hear how the story goes.
Have you traveled where others have only dreamed of going? If not, do you know someone who has been there, or could share a story for you to tell in your first contact emails?
6. Offer Your Couch at Home
Even if you don’t have a place for a fellow wanderer to stay the night, it’s important to make the offer; say you’re willing to meet someone for coffee and travel talk. Offer to connect them with your local CSing friends who do have decent floor space.
5. Don’t Use Couchsurfing to Hook Up
Maybe I’m off base here, but I just assumed that Couchsurfing was better than your average Match.com. Don’t post that you’re only willing to host members of the opposite sex and have only your single bed to share.
If you meet someone great by circumstance, that’s wonderful, but don’t actively seek it on a site like this.
4. Join and Follow Groups
True, you can just search for couches doing randomized searches under “Couchsurf!”, but another useful method to find or offer lodging is located in the local group listings. Each city should have its own official Couchsurfing group, assuming it doesn’t have ten.
3. Don’t Lie
Don’t want smokers to stay at your place? Say as much. Not gay-friendly? Be honest. Uncomfortable with people staying more than one night? You’d better tell them straight-away, or you could be stuck with The Man Who Came To Dinner.
Couchsurfing is about expanding your horizons, but, when you’re staying with someone, it’s also about compatibility. Don’t put someone out by saying you’re a morning person and then party till 3 AM. Be honest as to who you are and what you want in a CSing experience.
2. Tell People When You Leave the Country
I cannot count the number of CSers I’ve emailed who haven’t gotten back to me; although their profiles mention the possibility of leaving in the near future, they forget to update that they have already been gone six weeks and are unable to host.
And the number one tip…
1. Don’t be Afraid
Couchsurfing is about goodwill, bettering the lives of travelers, and international understanding; the people are not out to beat and rob you. I can understand some people being hesitant about staying in a stranger’s house in a foreign country (especially single ladies), but CSing is not the “Casual Encounters” section of Craigslist.
These people are real, and others will attest to them. Don’t let any fears you might have show through your profile words.

Hope to see you again!

From Christine Hinterlang Vienna, Austria Dec 2, 2008 Positive I really enjoyed spending time with him at the Sinterklaas meeting in Rotterdam.

From Jack Wilde Pacific Grove, United States Nov 24, 2008 Positive Meeting Bobtje was like meeting myself in... I don't know, 50 years? ; ) He's a natural charmer and a flirt, even if he was barking up the wrong tree. We had some fun at the sing-a-long and even shared a couch, but it was an L-couch and only our feet were almost touching. Also, he snores a bit.
From Tina De Lobel Brugge, Belgium Nov 17, 2008 Positive sensitive and very social guy with his heart on his tongue (as they say in dutch), also a bit crazy and he has a personality which does not seem obvious to describe, anyway enjoy and till next meeting or at hawaiian's place...

See you again in Belgium, for sure!

From GERDJE Herentals, Belgium Aug 11, 2008 Positive 'Met' Bob through messages in the 'Kempen'- and 'Belgium'groups and after a few days Pol and I surprised him with our presence on 'Benenwerk'meeting in Bruges. Too bad we didn't have the chance anymore to dance salsa that evening Bob ;-) But... in the meanwhile he (as a wine-expert) exepted my invitation to taste the Croatian wine we brought along from our trip up there and yesterday he pushed our doorbell :-) He had an hour or two freetime but stayed 7 :-) After he accepted to stay for dinner he helped me because I had an accident at home the week before and my right thumb had to be seamed and splinted, so difficult for me to cook now. He made a delicious creamsauce to use along with the fish and tought me the trick to do it. Mmmmm... And yes he washed the dishes too (have photos to prove) so I rewarded him with an icecream : Dame Blanche with real hot chocolate on top :-) You should have seen his eyes! It was a very pleasant visit. Thanks Bob!
From Lilian Gaillard Hobart, Australia Aug 10, 2008 Positive So, how to describe Bob? We just shared a breakfast but if he wasn't here, it was definitively not the same thing.....

Just don't forget my name is Lilian and not Francois!!! lol (Francois???? Burk!!!!!!)
And, Bob, I can be a big talker but I'm sometimes a few shy and it's hard for me in English....lol
From Alwin, Kristin and kids Jacobs Berlaar, Belgium Aug 9, 2008 Positive Bobtje. Fun, sun, smile, talk, drink. Only met him short but I am sure we will meet again, and soon! Then this reference will grow.

From PETRUCCI67 Duisburg, Germany Jul 27, 2008 Positive You had a good laugh with this guy at some CS meet-up? Yeah, he's quite funny with a great sense of humor, but he's also very caring, pensive, and has a whole lot of interesting experiences in life. And right now, he's changing amazingly much in his life! Wow! He's a real darling and a gentleman that believes in angels. He found a room for me where I could sleep on my very own after a night with fifteen persons in Brian's living-room in Bilzen at the CS Maastricht Summer Meeting '08.
Three weeks later, I was the first to surf his couch in Beerse and we spent a really relaxed and harmonious weekend together, four CS-meetings, a unique and unforgettable visit to the Begijnenhof in Turnhout, and a lot of interesting conversations. Recently, he came to surf my couch and we were followed by a tv-camera team for many hours. One of my true couchsurfing- friends. Definitely not the last time we meet, honey!
From Jon Tam Leiden, Netherlands Jul 27, 2008 Positive Bob is great to meet and have beers with. He is truly the life of the party, and a great person to get to know. He is also the best life coach I have ever met from the Antwerp area. We will definitely catch up for a beer in the near future!
From WORLDISMYPLAYGROUND Wiesbaden, Germany Jul 18, 2008 Positive We sat next to each other in the Antwerp CS-org meeting and I was annoying him ;-) He's got good ideas and equally good sense of humour. I think we both ended up in the tech team...
From Inez Volckaert Brasschaat, Belgium Jul 15, 2008 Positive Nice guy, interesting view on things. We met briefly but i'm sure we'll meet again sometime and get to know each other a little better!
From Stijn Vernaillen Antwerp, Belgium Jul 14, 2008 Positive Met Bobtje at a meeting in Brugge. Had several nice conversations during the weekend on lifehacking, self-improvement and meditation. Always nice to meetup with him on meetings!
From Maxim Van Lyl Bredene, Belgium Jul 11, 2008 Positive Great guy with a very interesting history!

From Caroline Simays Liege, Belgium Jul 10, 2008 Positive Hey Bob ! See you soon for a real salsa dance !
From Magen Howell Atlanta, United States Jul 2, 2008 Positive I met Bob at a CS event in Brugge and really enjoyed his company. We shared stories, laughed a lot, and had good conversation. Bob is very composed and thoughtful but also outgoing, spontaneous, and engaging, which are hard qualities to balance. Hope to meet you in Bangkok someday Bob!
From Bernard Vander Beken Brugge, Belgium Jul 2, 2008 Positive Bob: a friendly guy who is young at heart, likes to have a good conversation and a fun time. To the girls: he's also an excellent Salsa dancer.
From * HAWAIIAN * Bilzen, Belgium Jul 2, 2008 Positive Smart,witty,funny and strait to the point is how I describe Bobby! I can honestly say that he is one cool cat! His character and charm will catch your interest and his dancing skills will grab your attention in a blink of an eye. "Ladies watch out!"
A very good conversationalist, be ready to expand your vocabulary with out of the ordinary words and his life knowledge will overwhelm you! Most of all he is fun to be around with so don't expect to be bored around him for he generates a very positive vibe!
I'm really glad that we crossed paths Bobby it's not everyday I make a friend like you! Keep being real and stay cool bro!
From Réka Livits Budapest, Hungary Jul 1, 2008 Positive Well, to start with I'm happy that I could make Bobtje so happy by saying innocently and eyes wide opened that he was 25. Anyway he doesn't look old, does he? ;) And still wants to study, that's a great thing. And he's a sooo great dancer, I enjoyed sooo much dancing salsa with him in Brugge. He knows really tricky steps and can lead really good - hope it wasn't the last time!
From Olivier SICCO Lille, France Jul 1, 2008 Positive Bob is a good fellow ... met him during a picnic in brugge and have been able to see he was funny and interesting. As far as I remember Bob travells with its camera ;)
From Eline Rogge Gent, Belgium Jun 30, 2008 Positive I have met Bob 2 times, i have noticed he knows quite a lot about wine, he likes to sing and just be crazy. But more serious conversations are also possible with him, what else do you need?
From KATRIENE Tremelo, Belgium Jun 30, 2008 Positive I met Bob at the picknickpotluck in Brugge. He's a very nice and happy person, easy to talk to and very communicative. See you on another meeting, Bob !
From Steve Van Echelpoel Antwerp, Belgium Jun 30, 2008 Positive We didn't really had a chance for in depth conversations. But my opinion is that Bob is a wise person who enjoys his life. Hope to meet up again somewhere, someday ;).
From Krista Sihvonen Helsinki, Finland Jun 30, 2008 Positive We were hunting, surfing and having fun in Brugge. It was nice to meet him and spend the weekend together. He is talkative and and open, and probably the oldest student I know :). He is this kind of person, who can make even this shy girl to talk, when there's lots of people around. :)
From . Manu . Valenciennes, France Jun 30, 2008 Positive This "guy from the North" (of Belgium!) was brave enough to join all the events during the "Feest in 't Park" week-end 2nd edition in Bruges. It was nice to have him among us as Bob is an interesting and funny guy, a good entertainer.
From Lieke, Peter and kids Dendermonde, Belgium Jun 29, 2008 Positive Bob is a very open, friendly, helping and caring guy. We like his way of thinking and the way he handles things. Bob is a great listener and a nice talker too. Not the big world issues, but the all-day-little-and-bigger problems. Interested in how others see things and compare with his own experiences.
Also fun! He is nice to have around when your going out our walking around. Loves to laugh, but there to listen when needed. Always available for a hug ;-)
Hope you'll make it to Bangkok and we will meet again soon!

From Gertrud Althausen Hoofddorp, Netherlands Dec 24, 2006 Positive Bob is a warmharted, spiritual man. Interesting to talk with and easy to couch *smile*.
It was an open karakter, I like this.One correction to his story: I am not a reiki-master. I have healing hands. |
