Description

Hiya :) I am a recent engineering graduate who wants to travel to, not only apply my skills and help communities but also learn and immerse in different cultures. I grew up in Belgium, China, and Germany where I gained fluency in Mandarin, French, German, and English. However, due to a lack of practice, I forgot most of my Mandarin, which is one of the driving forces behind my wanting to explore Taiwan :)

I grew up in my Dad's Carpentry Workshop which nurtured a passion for problem-solving and creative design, to this day I help him create furniture as well as tools to help out his workshop.

I am also a very extroverted person, which led me to manage events, be captain of my football team, lead social clubs at university, and mentor students from all over the world. All this to say that one of my biggest passions is to meet people with different cultures, opinions, and views on the world.
