CURRENT MISSION

Trying to adapt to a more or less steady life :)

ABOUT ME

I like to believe that I am easygoing and friendly :) I'm usually rather quiet, but passionate about the things I like!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A citytrip to Rome: we stayed at a local 's place the first night and met with other couchsurfing people the days after. A very positive experience!
A weekend in Torino with a fantastic host.
A week in Tasmania where I stayed and met up with several couchsurfers. I still believe it is the best way to travel. I met some really interesting people who could show me the best local spots!

I hosted 3 Portuguese guys at my former house in Ghent. It was interesting to see my own city from a tourist's perspective.

Interests

Music, music, music! (Accordion, recorder and singing, in folk and jazz and even some classical styles) Travelling, learning foreign languages, art, psychology.
Enjoying all the good and beautiful things in life: hiking in nature, strolling around beautiful and interesting cities, enjoying good food and drinks, learning new things, meeting nice people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm, I have a very broad taste, it's very hard for me to pick just a few.

Music: all good live music from folk, gipsy, jazz to classical... I'm open to suggestions!
Movies: drama, comedy, anything except for horror movies I guess.

I don't read often but when I do, I drop everything else :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

my erasmus time in Italy, Ethno (an amazing folk music exchange with musicians from all over the world), the Camino de Santiago, a European tour with a big band, my travels in Australia

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some (Belgian and other) folk music and dances, I may play you some accordion tunes, I can sing you some jazz standards or 20's swing songs accompanied by ukuelele, I can tell you all about which Belgian beers and chocolate to taste, introduce you to some psychology facts and probably some other stuff I can't think of right now :)
I'm open to learning and sharing anything with you!
