CURRENT MISSION

Exploring souls and cities

ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm a 27-year old Belgian girl who quit her job as an editor and gave up her apartment in the city center of Brussels to find out what is more to it in life. Bought a one-way ticket, cut my hair, packed my bags and took a leap.

PHILOSOPHY

"I have no plans, no dates, no appointments with anybody, so I leisurely explore souls and cities"
- Jack Kerouac

Interests

I enjoy traveling, hiking, cooking, baking, reading, writing, photography, going for a drink, having Aha-Erlebnisse and linguistic insights.

I like impulsive decisions and take pleasure in stupid little everyday things.
