Hello, my name is Niels and I am born in Leuven, Belgium. I am a mechanical engineer by profession. In my free time, I love to travel, meet new people, hike, run, ski and be active in general. Currently my girlfriend and I are travelling for a year. We are both easy-going and relaxed people who appreciate a nice talk and like to share experiences. We are not very big party people but enjoy a cozy evening drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and share cultural differences. We love to get the local experience wherever we travel.
