About Me

Born and raised in Belgium, but I'm actually British. Getting that Belgian passport soon because f*** you Brexit.

Currently backpacking around South America (via a detour in NYC because that is a completely logical route) until I start an MBA in Taiwan in September.

I believe the greater the culture-shock, the more you learn.

After 6 weeks traveling in South East Asia I refused to get on the return plane. Backpacked around until I had 250$ left then moved to Vietnam for 2 years.

Career:
Previously an Exec. Assistant that would spend 1 month in whatever country the boss sent me to manage international offices.
Working towards becoming a cross-cultural management consultant for expats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and discovering new places.
Any tips on abandoned locations would also be awesome.

Interests

Chilling in a cafe with a view of the sunset hitting the sea is my way of life.

  • partying
  • traveling
  • chilling

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to anything and everything, read a lot of articles but not enough books, love foreign films with the same budget I have to travel (literally, almost nothing).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chased by a pack of monkeys up a mountain for about an hour. I now have a fear of monkeys.
