Tom is a very friendly and gracious host and both his wife and children are lovely. Their house is very clean, cozy, nicely decorated and naturally children-friendly. Tom is also a good cook and a very entertaining and knowledgeable storyteller - always wanting to share his experiences and impressions from the many countries and people he's visited, as well as his knowledge about Belgium. Flanders and Ghent! It is thus very likely that he'll know something (if not a lot!) about the country you're from, and if not he'll be very eager to find out. A definite recommendation!
