I love history which for me is like the soul of the city. What shaped the city also tells you a lot about the future, as the history repeats itself. I also enjoy board games, debating and volunteering.

Tour description
I am currently a student in Leuven, which being a student city itself also has a unique history. I will provide you with a unique experience of not only the Stella and Katholike university - the two big names of the city, but also how they shape the (student) life in this cultural capital of Europe for 2030.
We will start the tour from close to the center church, going to the infamous beer factory, some old UNESCO historical sights and the Leuven party street. We will end the tour next to the bell tower atop the main library, which was gifted by the US to Leuven.
Having travelled to more than 30 countries and over 100 cities, my goal is to guide you about the culture of the city, so it may stay memorable to you.
