Guia local em Antwerp - Belgium

Katrien

Hi there! So nice to meet you. My name is Katrien and I’m a Belgium based world citizen. Belgian by birth but I also lived in Indonesia, Singapore, Guatemala, Trinidad WI, Italy and Mauritius. I love to travel and I get all my energy from meeting new people. As a Master in Social and Cultural Anthropology with a teacher’s degree I explore different jobs in Education & Internationalisation, but my real dream is to become a writer some day in a faraway future. Where’s my homebase? I lived in Antwerp for 30 years, Leuven for 5 years and at present Ghent hosts my work base. When I’m not at home, I explore the world. My most impressive personal holiday destinations? Namibia, Cyprus, Kyrgyzstan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cuba. But Flanders stays that magical little spot in Europe where life just flows on its own, where politics is a never-ending story and where medieval sights and art-déco architecture are a common thing. I can take you around a lot of Flemish historical cities and show you the best cafés in town, but ask me for a low-key walk in a Belgian forest or at the sea side and I’m also your friend. How I like to spend my time? I’m thrilled to visit really any museum or exposition across Flanders. I like to stroll around and listen or tell stories, in any city or any natural surroundings. I love to hang out for coffee or lunch and I also can take you for swim, kayak or SUP experiences. I know the local cultural agenda, so I can find tickets for concerts or plays. Who’s your local friend? Four children and a loving husband, open-minded and curious, an always positive attitude and a longing for new and exciting experiences. Craving for change and progress on all levels and interested in a very broad spectrum of themes. Culture, history, politics, nature, climate, technology, architecture, world news, diversity, education, raising children or solo travel… I’m all ears!
