Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm on a very loosely planned 6 month trip. I'm not sure where it will take me but I find that exciting.
ABOUT ME
I´ve lived in a small town in Belgium for most of my life. After my studies in marketing and management it took me a while to find a job that I really liked. Probably because I don't really like marketing or management, so I found a job in the event sector. Working long and hard for a crapy wage but I loved it. Mostly because I got to visit all kind of different events like music festivals, sports games, corporate events,.... But also because I was able to travel around Europe to wherever the events were taking place.
After a few years I decided that I wanted to see the rest of the world as well. So I toke a sabbatical year, traveling from New York to Rio de Janeiro and I loved it!
So when I came back after one year I immediately started planning my next trip.
I did a few more long trips lasting between 1 and 2 years after realising I needed a more balanced lifestyle. So now I have deal with my employer that I work 6 months during the summer in Belgium after which I am free to travel the world for 6 months.
Overal I have been travelling for a large part of the last 9 years.
PHILOSOPHY
if you act normal for long enough you will automatically become special
