ABOUT ME

I love meeting people and getting to know their culture and way of life. I discovered my love for travelling just a couple of years ago after moving to Malmö (exchange student). Ever since I periodically get what I call "travel tantrums" and go insane unless I go outside and discover something new.

I'm a developer, working in Brussels.

PHILOSOPHY

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak
