Description

I'm Auke, 28 years old, living in Leuven (Belgium). I have 2 brothers and one sister, with whom I get along really well. Nevertheless, I feel the need to see the world, to be somewhere else.

My goal in life is to experience as much as possible, to do the most extraordinary travels, to visit the most amazing places and meet amazing people, and last but not least to learn as much languages as possible. Because knowing how to communicate is key for making connections with others and brings knowledge about other cultures and therefore also this world, a world that has so much to offer.

I love to be in nature, to be outside, to be in the sun.
I love doing sports, to train my body, to have a body that I feel fit and healthy in. I play football and work in a fitness as flexi.
I love to be around people. Most of all the kind of people that can teach me new things and skills. On the other hand I love my me-time. Reading a book, listening to music, watching series, solving puzzles and so on.
I'm eager to roll up my sleeves, getting my hands dirty.

More details about your skills

I did a Master in Clinical Psychology at the University in Leuven, my hometown. After that, I studied applied audiovisual communication and started my first job as a production assistent in a production company.
The reason I did those studies is because my strengths/abilities/interests are working with people, helping people, planning & organisation, being creative.
My biggest hobby is doing sports, I train almost 2 hours a day. It can be cycling, playing football, workouts at the gym, bouldering/climbing, swimming, or trying out other sports.

At the moment, I'm thinking of doing an extra study more, just because I want to be skilled in so much more then the knowledge en skills I have now. It is such a privilege that we have the option (but maybe not always the money) to learn in life, to experience new things, discover new abilities, new interests. I'm gonna be honest, I stil don't know exactly what I want to learn more in life, or what I want in life in general. I still don't know my path and the way I should walk it, but I'm working on it. Trying out things will lead me the way. Being a hands-on person will help me.

I already did some traveling alone where I learned a lot about myself:
-Argentina (1 year exchange). Learned to speak Spanish fluently.
-Sevilla (Erasmus).
-Portugal (3 months of hostel work).
