In 2021 I was granted a Canadian Working Holiday visa and worked for almost a year in the hospitality industry in Canada. In 2023 I obtained a student visa and graduated with a diploma in Permaculture at the Pacific Rim College in Victoria. Currently I am living in Brentwood bay, BC and own a car. Transportation is not an issue. My origins are European, more specifically Belgium. I left Europe for a longtime to create and gain some life and work experience in other countries in the world. My work experience is broad, but have a main interest in farming. Being a student and living on the island for the last year, I would like to make this place my last destination.
