ABOUT ME

Avid storyteller, travel and photography enthusiast. My wanderings began over ten years ago, where I traveled to Australia and Asia for three consecutive years. Then, after graduating in photography and art therapy in Belgium, I moved to the Middle East, where I worked as a freelance photographer and art workshop facilitator for refugees. Three years later, I flew to West Africa where I now work for a peacebuilding organization.
