Originally from Ghent, I am an avid traveler, always keen to discover very different and wonderful places around the globe. Taking in the varied cultures, sights and food. The experience of being Booking host and meeting so many lovely people along the way, is really something I particularly enjoy. My main aim is to create a comfortable, relaxing and "home away from home" experience for guests. My priority is to always be readily available and provide as much info and assistance as possible. All the things I value when traveling to somewhere new myself. I hope to see you soon! :-)
