About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently looking for a mission and in the meantime I'm discovering Canada

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years old
I like to travel and discover new places and meet new people.
In my spare time you can find me relaxing with a good book, listing to some music or trying to climb a rock only to come back down again when I've reached the top.
And ofcourse being Belgian I can always enjoy a beer.
If you'd like to know anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
At the moment I'm travelling with a friend in BC, Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

Climb now, work later
