Description

Hello!
After spending my past 4 years studying, the only thing going through my head now is exploring europe (further parts of the world are for later ;) ). Up untill now I have been spending summers at scoutscamps, a festival or two and then most importantly I would escape belgium by hithhicking trough europe with friends or alone.
In this way I had to most interesting talks with people from Romania, spent a day with a polish trucker, visited Denmark, felt very unsafe with crazy people driving the German autobahn😅, had a two-day ride through France and Italy with the sweetest couple, discoverred spain and how they dont like hitchhikers, and so much more adventures ahha..
After my studies, I couldnt imagine to start working for a company so I saved up some money by doing a few freelance jobs here and there as delivery driver, gardener, barman,... in order to travel the world in the coming year and half on a low budget.
Besides my travel ambitions I immensly love being busy with crafty projects, I love being busy repairing things and learning about how they function, my industrial engineering background is definitly responsible for that. Because of this handyman-mindset I can call myself proud owner of a boat i fixed up (which still floats till this day :) ), repaired some motors along the way, amused myself with tons of woodwork project,... to sum it up: anything broken triggers me to dive into it straight away :)
At last I would not want to forget to mention the importance of rest to me: This could consist of practising sports or sit an afternoon in the park and listen to music. These days are so imporant in order to create moments to reflect and obtain a clear and driven mindset in life.
