CURRENT MISSION

to see the world and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing person who likes all kinds of things. I studied languages ( French and Spanish) in Brussels and I live in Leuven. At the moment, I'm thinking about studying tourism but I'm not sure yet. It's possible that I'll start working next year. I'm still thinking things over.

First of all, I like travelling. And while doing that, I like to meet new people, discover new things, really get to know the mentality in other places of the world so I think CS is the ideal way to do this.

I cannot live without music, so you're likely to find me at festivals, gigs or in my room listening to my cd's;-)I also try to play the piano a little bit so make sure you bring earplugs with you;-)My sisters boyfriend plays the guitar so be prepared to hear a musical intermezzo once and a while.

I like to party a little bit( okay, a lot!). I like a good meal in a cosy restaurant surrounded by friends and loved ones and a bottle of wine. I like to sit in cafes and watch people walk by, I can do it a whole day if I must (wanna try!?!)I can cook if there are proper instructions although I manage the basics.

Sometimes I can be a couch potatoe but that would be only if there is nothing else to do.

I aspire to become a travel agent, cityguide or a writer for travelbooks, so if you'd like me to show you around, it can be taken care of;-)

Other things I like: movies (especially in cinema, where you get to see the bigger picture. Forget the home surround theaters and call me old fashioned;-)), Stand up comedians, beauty products etc etc...

I'm always in for a round/party game, cold beer and some snacks along with it.

I also like reading(magazines, books,....) and surfing on the internet to discover new holiday destinations.

During the weekend, I work as a swimming teacher. (I used to swim a lot and I used to be in good shape ;-))Now, I'm just providing little children with my knowledge of the breaststroke.

I 'sometimes' sit at my desk to study.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not a journey unless you get a little lost
