About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living it up!
Graduated as doctor, consequently studied tropical medicine in Antwerp and currently working in Mayotte.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 29 year old doctor who's always on the move. I like to be occupied; enjoy work, sports, bars, festivals and travelling . I enjoy meeting the locals wherever I go and learning about their habits, culture and city. I love the unexpected and I'm already looking forward for some new adventurous couchsurfing experiences. Keep 'em coming!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
(I might've stolen that one from Bob Marley)
