I've been lucky enough to be backpacking since May 2017 in South America, New Zealand, Australia, Asia and I am not on my way home yet.

In a former life I worked as an audiologist and tourguide in Belgium.

Found love in Australia <3

Interests

I like to sing and dance. I learned salsa and bachata in Colombia and funky and forro in Brazil.

I also love cooking, or food in general :) and a nice strong coffee. Trying to live a vegan lifestyle, I am 90% successful.
As a proper Belgian, I like a good beer.
