First impressions

‘I’ve spent my last semester at a private business school in St. Petersburg in Russia. I’m very close to finishing my study Business Engineer in Louvain-la-Neuve.

My time in St. Petersburg has been a fantastic experience. The most remarkable thing about this city is that the cultural differences between Belgium and Russia, are huge. It’s a whole new world.

The unfortunate thing about this is that you get, and stay, stuck with first impressions as people rarely speak English. Which of course is a pity.’

St. Petersburg

For anyone planning to visit this city, I can highly recommend Saint Isaac’s Cathedral for the ones who are not afraid of a cultural touch. For food, you must visit Hamlet+Jack, there is a really nice atmosphere and great food.

Going out in real Coyote Ugly style -including hot dancers-, at Lomonosov Club.

Life after school

My plans for after I finish my studies are not completely clear yet. The only thing I already know for sure is that I will stop studying. (laughs) I will probably go look for a job that I can easily combine with sports on a high level. My aim is for sure to stay at Herakles. This is the club where my whole family plays and I’d like to stick to traditions.

Because I live in Namur, it requires a lot of driving, so you can find me often in my car.’
