Description

When I started my senior year in high school, I knew right away that I didn't want the life that was expected of me. I couldn't see myself continuing my studies and having a 9 to 5 job at all. I have spent many hours looking for adventures that are out of my comfort zone. I want to discover, feel, experience, see, taste, .....

I graduated in architecture. This is a direction where I learned a lot about my character. I soon notice that my passion lies within creative projects. I don't just mean painting and drawing, but also coming up with creative solutions to everyday problems. If an activity interests me, I quickly feel it. I put all my time and energy into it.

Although I feel very privileged to have grown up in Belgium, I miss certain things in my life. I am very much attracted to nature and its beauty. In the village where I come from there are a few fields and a small grove. I feel very far from nature here. I would like to take long hikes, go to lakes, eat fruit from my own garden, watch the stars and sunsets. I find that all these things give me a lot of joy.

More details about your skills

I did architecture in high school. Here I learned how to draw plans on the computer, design buildings/compositions, draw models, ... Apart from all those practical things, I learned a lot about myself. This is how I discovered that I have a lot of motivation and perseverance. We also had drawing and painting classes, these ones where my favorite subjects :))

I have been involved in a youth movement since I was 6 years old. I was a member at first and have been in charge since this year. I feel I have learned a lot about interacting with other people and working in groups.

Outside of my studies and hobbies I like to work with my hands. For example, I have made a coop for my chickens and rabbits several times. Often I have no experience beforehand, but I learn new things in the process, which I can apply later in other projects.

I have done multiple workaway project, mostly on farms or with families. The tasks I had to do varied from walking the dogs, household chores, finishing walls with cement, picking olives, painting a murals to cleaning coconut fields.
