About Me
ABOUT ME
I caught the wanderlust bug whilst my exchange year in Belgium in 2007. Since then I've decided that being a tourist was not enough and when visiting different countries I was eager to experience it from the locals perspective.
As a result, I have lived in quite a few countries around Europe. Learned the local languages, alongst studying and working.
The past two years I've travelled through South East Asia and enjoyed the waves and mountains in New Zealand and Australia.
Now I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
