Description
I'm Buddy Dory and after 5 years of long (but happy) law studies I've decided to put my legal codes away for a year to discover other pleasures this world has to offer.
I really love my studies but I want to take a break from the work routine (holidays - courses - exams). I think life should be lived 100% and it's far too short. That's why I want to use this coming year to get out of my Belgium and meet other people, cultures and activities!
There's nothing more beautiful and motivating than the surprises that life has in store. But to be a little more specific about what motivates me and brings me happiness, I'd say that first of all it's the exchanges we can have with other people, everything we can learn from each other (and the many laughs we can give each other!). Then there's the second important element in feeling good is all the incredible scenery that the land has to offer. We have some beautiful forests in Belgium, but I can't wait to go a little further and discover other parts of the world.Interests

I am not a "language god" (it takes me many hours to write my description), but it's not bad because I dare to make mistakes and I am not afraid to speak in order to learn. As proof, I am French-speaking but I did my master's degree in Dutch. So I have a very good level of French and Dutch and I can get by in English and Spanish (I was lucky enough to take 2 years of Spanish at school). UPDATE After three months traveling I'm feeling more and more comfortable in English and Spanish. Now I can have serious discussion in the both language (still with littles errors but every day I'm feeling better ;)) )Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

Although I'm still only 22 and have a lot to learn, my life path has already given me some good skills and an understanding of the things I'm good at.
The student jobs I did in the events sector (I worked in cashless at music festivals) showed me that I was pretty good at assimilating new things and managing the unexpected. I have a hyper-active side sow I'm always looking to make myself useful and I'm not afraid of trying to master other things.
My law studies made me realise that I'm rigorous and ready for the task. I managed to plan all my studies well, so I've already got my diploma at the age of 22 😉
Finally, the scouts movements worked on my resourcefulness and stress management. For 4 years (including two years as "big responsable") I animated 30 children aged 8- 12. They were incredible years and a great asset for my future.Age

Nicolas’ welcome was exceptional. It was my third work away and the first time I’d had so much attention. From the beginning (when he picked me up as I got off the train) to the end (when he made sure to make my favorite Asturian dish as my last meal).… read more
