Overview
About Me
An introvert with a passion for humankind!
Worked 10 years for Belgium National Rail and earned a degree in social work while keeping my daytime job. I quit and gave up my flat right after graduating in September '22. I've been traveling since, experiencing a different lifestyle and trying the taste of freedom.
I hunt the emotion of the great outdoors. I love hiking and sometimes I can use some company as well!
Back in Brussels since Dec '23. Not hosting at the moment because I live in a shared flat owned by my friend.
