Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Allow me to introduce myself! I'm a twenty-something who’s living near Antwerp (Belgium) together with two of the cutest cats you’ve ever seen. Music, traveling, street art, take-me-out-of-my-comfort-zone-challenges and hanging out with my friends are just some of things which get me excited. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to know more!
