I'm Thomas, mid-thirties, living in Ghent and working as a pastry chef for one of the renowed pastry shops of the region.

My work is quite time-demanding, but I still want to make time to meet travelers visiting this vibrant city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been a while since I was actively CouchSurfing, but I want to pick up the thread again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already have plenty of satisfying (and one bad though) CouchSurfing stories (thanks to all the persons who took a part in them!).

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm passionate about music, all sorts of styles. I'm especially interested in old vinyl records, so if you have some at home you want to throw away: please bring them to me and I'll give them a second/third life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Hiking in Farö, a God-Forgotten tiny little island in
Gotland, at -10 degrees and being witness to a
beautiful glowy red sunset.

*Experiencing real Polish hospitality in Krakau: we
drank (vodka of course :D ), ate (home-made pierogi -Polish dumplings-
by the mother of the house), talked and laughed the
whole night in the garden in a hot summer night.
Amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

*I can give some basic and advanced guitar lessons to people who visit me.

*I like to cook and I work as a pastry chef, so I can solve all your cookie and cake problems. :p

*I roam all kinds of jam sessions to play music with whoever I connect with
