Hey! My name is Thomas Machiels. I'm 19 years old. Currently I'm studying law at the university of Leuven in Belgium.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I mentioned in my interests I love traveling, but being a student I'm on a budget and traveling is not cheap. A friend introduced me to couch surfing and I really liked the concept, so I created an account and here I am.

Interests

I love traveling, learning new languages and learning about culture, watching shows and series, eating (a lot). Most of all I like being around interesting and fun people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015 I lived for a year as a high school exchange student in Washington DC.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a hobby I am volunteering for AFS. It's the exchange organization I went to the USA with. I really love doing it because I get to meet lots of people from all over the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself to be a tidy and respectful person. (also my mom says I am, so it must be true)
