Teach, Learn, Share

I lived my whole life on a farm in the West-Flanders part of Belgium. Together with two brothers and a sister. I did gymnastics for 11 years and my child dream was to go into the circus as an acrobat so I learned acrobatics for one year but I had an accident and I didn't hold on .. I also did some drawningschool and music lessons. Around the age of 16 I became a voluntary barmaid in a youth-house. Around the age of 19 I went studying Ortho-pedagogics in Kortrijk. There I lived in a studentflat for 3 years. After that I moved to Ghent, I went travelling for a while, where I met my boyfriend Shawn. He moved from England to Belgium and we currently live togheter in Ghent, the city of trust and love!

Update after 5 years: I am reading this after 5 years, so nice! So quick update: I've been working and living in Ghent after that, had the time of my life but some things were still not as I wanted it and I started to go traveling, was living 6 months in Thailand and after 2 months being back in Belgium I went to Mexico in june, where i still am at the moment.
