After about 10 years of (non-continuous) travelling around the world, I decided to go back to school.
I could talk for hours about travelling, but let's save that for when we meet.
At the moment I'm studying an Academic Bachelor of Audiovisual Arts at the RITCS in Brussels
(Royal Institute for Theatre, Cinema and Sound).

Other than that, I'm a simple guy (in the 'silent waters run deep' sense) who enjoys the simple things in life;
spending time with friends, playing the piano, having a drink, having long intimate conversations.....and sometimes we throw in a little madness, for “a man needs a little madness, or else... he never dares cut the rope and be free.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met many interesting people while using Couchsurfing who were all kind enough to provide me with shelter, show me around their home town, take me to festivals, go out on crazy nights, go to cool events, etc.
This is my thank you to do something back and balance the karma, and also because I'd love to meet some people as I don't have lot of time to do that here as I'm studying a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming among black caiman, alligators and piranhas in the Bolivian pampas (see photos :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty handy at solving computer problems, it was part of my old job after all (The Horror!).
Other than that, I´ve studied several languages though I'm not fluent in all of them (see list).
If I can assist you in any way with languages, some language exchange for example, or fixing some computer problem, I'm your man!
