About me

Hi! My name is Solene and I am 19. I decided to take a gap year after graduating from high school. This is the best decision I have ever token! During the first four months, I have been in Denmark in an international school where I have met people from all over the world. During the months after that, I have worked full time in a agro-ecological farm and an NGO. Now I am leaving for Sri Lanka, south-korea and Japan. All my past experiences have built me and I have become an open-minded and enthusiastic person. I love to meet people and learn about other cultures. However, it's my first time to travel that far alone, that's why I am looking for a travel buddy. WI who I can discover the country whe are in while respecting the culture! I am really excited to meet you!!!

I traveled to Belgium for 5 days. Visited Brussels, Bruges, and Ghent. It was simply magical. I highly recommend Belgium as it is safe, central to so many places in Europe, and since it is such a small country, it's easy to get around.

Solo travel experience

Belgium is a gorgeous country with so many amazing places to see. Brussels is stunning with so many interesting places to see, gorgeous architecture, museums, etc. Antwerp is also amazing and has a very different feel to it than Brussels. Lots of forward-thinking designers are from there. Ghent is spectacular and Brugge very pretty. If you’re into WWI history, lots to see in Ypres and Flanders.
