Introduction

Hi there, I'm a 26 years old Belgian male, master chocolatier and after living and working in London for a year I got an offer to start and manage some concepts in Jeddah and later on throughout the middle east, so I decided to take the plunge into adventure :)

I joined expat.com on 21 October 2013.
