CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

CURRENTLY TRAVELLING

Hi! I'm Thom, I'm 20 and I currently live in Amsterdam & study at the University in Utrecht (Language- & Culturestudies). I love meeting relaxed, cool and excentric people, making (bass guitar!) and listening music (Arctic Monkeys, Underworld, The Strokes, etc.), movies and making and looking for art. My current love is poetry! Allen Ginsberg; surrealistic things. I try to write for myself as well, but I don't know how much I succeed yet. Furthermore I love making pictures (you can see them here flickr.com/photos/tael).
I'm planning on traveling more in the near future and see more of the world and meet great people! Will you help me?

PHILOSOPHY

Just do it! Uh-huh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To make sure everyone can do whatever they want to. That's the most important thing I guess.

I have couchsurfed once now, in Paris and I had an amazing time! A great place, all students. Very relaxed & nice; exactly what I like.
