ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Hanne and I've always lived in Leuven, exept from last year, when I was studying in Peru, to learn about the culture and of course to learn Spanish! I love to travel and to know new people, places and things. I also love to plan a trip or to pack my bag. I'm often thinking of new places I want to visit and there are soo many countries I still want to see that I think I will need a lot of years. Too bad that I also will have to study in the next years.
In Belgium, I go out a lot with friends and we make lots of fun together. We're always laughing and do crazy things, like swimming in the see at night or staing awake the whole night and then climbing on a hill to see the sunrise. With the scouts, we go walking a whole night every year and we always get lost but we really enjoy it.
I love to swim and work as a lifesaver in a swimmingpool in my city and I also gave clases to little kids, who had to learn not to fear the water. Once I swam in the Belgian see the first of Januari. It was almost frozen but I stayed in the water a while, jumping in the waves. I also swam in the lake of a glacier once, after two days of climbing in the mountains of Italy. It was even colder than the see in January!
Climbing is also a thing that I like to do, but I don't often do it anymore.
I don't know what to write more, there are so many things I like and I already wrote a lot of things. But you can always ask me more :)
