ABOUT ME

All about me... Grew up in Belgium, tiny country, lots of cities, lots of culture... great place, but... mwell... not the world. After uni I went to Canada on a WHP. Traveled around, saw some bears, learned to snowboard and to surf (ok I didn't learn how to surf, but I gave it a shot.) Came back to Belgium, worked and saved up some money and left for Australia. Spent two years traveling and working my way around there. Back to Belgium for 2 years and been living in Ireland since 2015!
Easygoing, afraid of spiders, love pink, love languages, love traveling... And my rabbit is called "Rabbit".
I travel because I can't get enough of seeing and learning new things, I always want to meet new people, so I can learn about their way of life. I can't get enough of discovering new mountains or new beaches, forests, deserts, cities... I take millions of pictures and write about what I've seen, felt and done.

PHILOSOPHY

Nike's line pretty much sums it up.
Why would you not?
Het leven is aan de durvers.
