Description
Hey :) I'm Yvan, 32 years old, from Belgium. I'm a physics engineer converted into a backpacker. I'm traveling to educate myself, to unlearn what I have been told or read and instead learn from the people and the places I visit. I aspire to make the world a better place and spread happiness. I enjoy cooking, farming and gardening, renovating, decorating, cleaning and helping in any way I can really. I look forward to meeting you!
