Thank You for visiting us!
Welcome :)
We are Frederick & Muriel, both in love with Ghent.
Frederick grew up with a dream of living abroad. After his master in Economics, he went backpacking to Australia and New Zealand, ... The vibe hit him, so he chose to study a post graduate in Hospitality Management in Glion, Switzerland. During his career, he worked as a Hotel Manager in Brussels, Knokke, Nice, La Grave, Club Med Les Arcs, ... Living in the mountains with his snowboard as his best friend, made him realise that he preferred the cosiness of boutique hotels instead of the big leading hotels.His world couldn't get bigger since then.
After his global adventures, he wanted to be close again to his loved ones. So today he is your host to manage your stay in our SoGo Guesthouse Ghent. If he is not available, you will find him on his bike, or exploring more beautiful places around the world...
Muriel preferred staying close to her family & friends, close to the river 'De Leie'. Trying to understand the big questions in life, which no one can answer - of course. Unsaturated with the answers so far, she started to study Psychology, Health science & behavioral therapy. During this journey, Yoga came along to help her find a balance between the mind and body. A story without end. When she is not giving therapy or doing yoga, you can find her on the sup at the seaside or the river, when the sun is out. If you look for local yoga spots, sports, restaurants, musea, bars, walks, .... she is your girl of the house.
We found our common ground in SoGo Ghent: connecting with people, getting to know new cultures, enjoy an aperitivo or tea, loving the sun and the rain, walking around Portus Ganda.
The choice of not rushing into life.
The art of following our dreams and stimulate each other to not let go of them.
Yin & yang.
Our Guesthouse Ghent is our project.
Through the years, we understand how lucky we are to be close to our family & friends.
Let's see what the future holds for us...
No Rush.
