Hi! My name is Khalid and I'm a Londoner moving to Brussels to start an internship early September. I've been to Brussels a few times in the past and I enjoyed it a fair amount when I visited, hoping for more good times there. I'm looking forward to moving there and meeting new people and improving my French; I spent a year in France studying at SciencesPo Bordeaux and my french has dropped like crazy since! I'm open and friendly, don't mind talking about anything and I'm generally up for anything new to try. I'm looking for an apartment or even house share. Would like to move in with new people and maybe if anyone would like to talk and we could move find a place together that would be great too!
Cheers!
