CURRENT MISSION

study Chinese, climb, cook and eat, and learn

ABOUT ME

I'm a Belgian / American college student who grew up in Brussels, and spent 3 semesters studying in Boston. After graduating with a BA in Chinese Studies, I spent a few months in Taipei studying Chinese and now I am in China, where I will be working as a tour guide for the summer.

I love food and want to learn how to cook well. In college I do okay, but I want to learn more about food and cooking.

I like to move. I enjoy sports a lot and I have picked up climbing and I love it. If you've never done it, try it - it's great.

Otherwise I'm just trying to find what route I want to follow in life.

PHILOSOPHY

good food makes happy
