About Me

Childcare, a passion that I have had since my youngest age and it is also the studies that I have done. I have been practicing this profession for about ten years. It's my first passion.

The second is travelling. I had the chance thanks to my parents to discover Africa more precisely the Democratic Republic of Congo, I lived there for 18years, my family is still over there. I was born in Brugge and my first flight was to Africa in my first months. That's why you will more understand why I keep moving everywhere, never enough to discover this whole World.

After my studies and a few years as a childcare I wanted to broaden my horizons and it is with this in mind, I flew to Australia. I challenged myself to do things by myself, to take my own decisions to organize myself until I went on trips to New Zealand.

As I understood that with a year in Australia I would not have enough, I wanted to discover the cold of Canada in the Yukon with temperatures dropping to -39 °. (I would have liked to study natural phenomena at university but being in school has never been my best point.) I drove 17 000Km by myself in Canada with my lovely GMC.

I loved traveling at different temperatures, climbing volcanoes or mountains at dawn before sunset swimming in the open ocean or sleeping under the stars in a sleeping bag.

I am an easy-going, positive, hardworking and generous person. I know how to live in society, travel taught me to mature to know how to live in community and learned sociability.

I like to discover what my body can still surpass and discover other horizons and live other adventures and encounters.
