CURRENT MISSION

After constantly studying and working for nine years, im going to do what i have always dreamed of doing: traveling and working the world

ABOUT ME

I am Nils, currently 27 years old and live in Mechelen (between Antwerp, Leuven and Brussels). Im graduated as a sportsphysiotherapist and did and extra degree in educational science, Dry needling and sports management. I currently work as an independant physiotherapist and accompany national youth swim teams on their trainings.

I love music. I listen to everything that has a soul, but mainly jazz/blues/soul and reggae. To be honest, it has become an addiction (cfr vinyl addiction)
There is a lot more to tell so if you want to know some more, don't hesitate to ask!

PHILOSOPHY: don't wait till you're old to do the things you live
