About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, see the world, meet new people and learn about other cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm a student living in Ghent, I studied Art and Archaeology in Brussels. Now I study at the Ghent University to get my teacher degree.
I often go to museums and exhibitions, music concerts, and the cinema.
Like most of the Belgians I like a good meal, a good drink and a good party. I go out as much as I can.
But I can also enjoy a quiet night, talking and drinking with friends or read a book or watch a movie.
I'm friendly, outgoing, patient, creative and openminded so I hope to welcome you soon in the beautiful city of Ghent.

PHILOSOPHY

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.
