About me
Tourism lecturer, tour guide and theater addict.
After my Bachelor's in Event & Cultural Management, I studied an international tourism programme at the Universitat de Girona in Catalunya. After one year, I decided to go back to my roots and graduated as a Bachelor in Tourism & Leisure Management in Brussels, where I teach tourism topics such as tour operating and nature-made visitor attractions.
Although I was born in the city of Oudenaarde, I moved to my beloved Ghent 7 years ago. In my spare time I enjoy the medieval city with its cozy restaurants, funky bars and inspiring museums. Furthermore, I am a travel addict and love to discover local places in unknown regions.
Why Ghent
As Europe's best-kept secret, Ghent steals everyone's heart. You will find locals with a healthy dose of pride and a historical city on the water where old goes hand in hand with new. Ghent is known for its laid back atmosphere, although it remains a livable, vibrant art city for all.
