About Me

Hello everyone! 🤗
So about me: I'm a really easy going, always smiling, positive and adventurous person.
I absolutely love travelling, meeting new people and discovering cultures & countries will be my all time passion!
I do care a lot about our environment🌿
And just about any living creature 🫶

Currently I'm a Student in Cologne (subject: anthropology). Though I actually don’t study much at the moment. Im always on and off traveling. 🌍 Sometimes I am at home (Belgium & Germany) to earn some money as a freelance journalist and then I am off again to travel and do my own projects abroad. (Mostly documentaries or volunteering somewhere)

What my documentaries are about 🎥
1) mini documentary in South Africa:
It's about the people living in Cape Town and their opinions on the current situation, unsettled issues and their lives in Cape Town.
2) travel documentary about Oman
3) living with a nomadic family in Kyrgyzstan for 1 month and documenting their life

Love for traveling:
2015 - straight after graduating from school in Belgium - I moved to Australia for 2 years. What a beautiful country! And ever since I'm trying to travel as much as I can.😍

My Mission: Trying to make as much out of my Life as possible. Trying to meet as many interesting people as possible!
Always trying to be as nice and helpful as possible to everyone 🥰

My passion: Making documentaries about different people around the world. Sharing important stories and messages across the globe. My dream is to be able to do that full time! 🎬

I'm always up for adventure and for good conversations!
