CURRENT MISSION

Work, learn

ABOUT ME

Grew up in a small city in Belgium. Finished school, started working at 22. Became a lumberjack, then a teacher. Restarted second uni degree at 25. Working full-time and studying full-time and studying Russian and Arabic now. Summer and easter vacation allow me to do all the rest I do. Recent update: moving to NYC to finish my novel! (almost done by now...) Update: settled in Brussels. Tired of traveling.

No drugs, no smoking.

PHILOSOPHY

A vast set of mostly incongruent beliefs. I presume most important is: not to be bored, to be as good to myself as to others and the world as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS became an important part of travelling for me. The immediate shot into the veins of a city is highly addictive!
