CURRENT MISSION

'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn 't do than by the ones you did do'

ABOUT ME

My name is Laurence, and I'm 23 years old. I'm a law student and live in Brussels, where I study at the University of Brussels (VUB). At the moment I'm on an erasmus exchange in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I'm an active person, always busy and easy going. I like to go out, and love to do last minute excursions that come up in my mind. I love to travel and meet people, discover their cultures and discuss with them about all sorts of things, ... and step out of my 'comfort zone'.

If you ever decide to explore little, but oh so fascinating Belgium (especially Brussels), then I am more than willing to show you some wonderful places that you will not find in an average tourist guide.

Interests

I have a broad range of interests, and love to learn everyday: from learning a new word such as 'Hygge' (which means cozy in Danish) to learn more about a topic I'm not familiar with, to try not to step on everybody's feet during my first swing dance introduction, ... But my main interests are politics (maybe the fact that I'm Belgian, has something to do with this), Human Rights, Criminal Law, Things that happen in the world, Britains got Talent, Quotes, Photography, ...
