Ceulemans
Mechelen is a small and charming city where everyone knows each other. It has a relatively young population, as it’s a trendy city with plenty of job opportunities. Everyone knows everyone. The city is buzzing with cultural activities. Even in the evening, it definitely doesn’t feel unsafe. At night, I wouldn’t walk alone near the train station, just because it doesn’t feel very comfortable — although I doubt anything would actually happen.

I am a Translation and Interpreting student specializing in Spanish and French. I’m an enthusiastic and curious optimist who absolutely cannot make decisions—especially when it comes to choosing a dessert. Classic dilemma. I’m a social person, I do theater, and I love dance and music in all styles and languages. I’m open-minded and enjoy meeting new people, sharing different experiences, and exchanging perspectives.
