Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hello, I am a 23-year-old recent graduate from Belgium. I am currently embarking on a world trip, starting in Southeast Asia, followed by Oceania, and later, Central and South America. Since the age of 12, I’ve dreamed of traveling the world and having extraordinary experiences. Finally, the time has come, and I’m now on my journey. Alongside simply traveling, I hope to immerse myself in new cultures and gain valuable experiences. I saved my entire budget through various student jobs, and I was often told that I’m a very hard worker. Additionally, I am sociable, athletic, eager to learn, flexible, and I tend to go with the flow. I enjoy hiking in nature, going for a run, surfing in the ocean, or simply unwinding with a good book!

More details about your skills

I studied product development at the University of Antwerp and did an Erasmus exchange in Porto for five months during my studies. It’s a very broad program, covering subjects like economics, physics, and mathematics, but also psychology, anatomy, and various computer programs. The focus is on bringing new products or services to market, from the initial idea to the final product. Because of this wide scope, it teaches both hard and soft skills. The most important ones are problem-solving and thinking outside the box. Additionally, I have experience working behind a bar and helped a gardener during my younger years.

What else ...

I did orienteering as a hobby for a long time, navigating through forests with a map and compass to reach different checkpoints as fast as possible, so for a girl, I’m pretty good with maps and a compass. Besides that, I also have plenty of driving experience, as I was a delivery driver for four years :)
