I am a very active person, I am preparing to study sports science at Lancaster university, I am very passionate about the outdoors and nature, and I love the physical challenge of hiking up mountains. My dream is to climb mount Kilimanjaro in the future, and Kathmandu is also a suitable challenge to prepare me for that, as it is a challenge in itself. I have grown up with sports my whole life from competitive gymnastics from a very young age to playing in a national league hockey in Belgium now, as-well as school varsity team girls football (European). I also have a great interest in food and nutrition, a key aspect of sport and exercise science, and thus international cuisine intrigues me. I have grown up in a military family, moving around a lot, going to many different schools, including public and private schools including boarding schools for 3 years of my education, which has helped my grow as a person, developing a desire to help people wherever possible.
