From my work experience as a Journalist, I enjoyed being independent and creative writing reports about other cultures, other peoples and other countries. Then I worked as a cost-of-living surveyor in many different countries. I constantly had to adapt myself to do a good job. The comprehensive surveys I conducted were always new challenges to me. I enjoyed the surveyor job because I needed to be dynamic and organised and, above all, I worked in the field. Today, as the Brussels surveyor manager, my current job, I need to be informed of what is going on in the world to decide if a location must be cancelled for security reason. I enjoy reading newspapers and economics articles to understand more the countries I stay in before I leave. In a country, I always like to read local newspapers. |
