About
I was born in Belgium, immigrated to South Africa shortly after I got married, and immigrated to Canada shortly after I got divorced.
As such, I know what it's like to be new to a country. You can do research all you like, once you land in a new country, all that research goes out the window.
Just about every day you get confronted with new challenges, things the research didn't cover and nobody prepared you for.
I feel that I can help. I've been there and done that and if I can help someone with my experiences, I'd be happy to do so.
