I'm a Belgian Backpacker, currently exploring India for 2,5 months.
Since I left home in 2014, I've travelled a year in Oz and a year in NZ. Afterwards I explored Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Nepal.
Here I hiked up to Mount Everest Base.

I'm easy going, friendly and like to get to know people. I love sports and travelling.
Back in Belgium I was a scout leader, gymnastics instructor and ski instructor.
