About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience. Learn. Laugh. Live. Have fun.

ABOUT ME

This is me in 5 facts:
- I am 100% Belgian, but half my family lives in the USA.
- I lived and studied (and will live & study) abroad in France, Spain, UK, India & USA.
- I am blonde and I do have my blonde moments. It just happens.
- I love challenging myself and I like people who inspire me to do so.
- My favorite parts about traveling are to share stories, explore new places and learn to live like a local.

PHILOSOPHY

You'll never know if you don't try.

The people make the place.
