LOUIS
Originally from Belgium, a country famously flat and without mountains. Which is great, like that he can work and see the world to do his passion. Louis loves cheese and Japanese Anime... IKUZO!!! Not afraid to bust a move on the dance floor, but he can show you his dance moves in the canyon in order to stay warm.
​
Louis can speak English, French, Dutch and German!
Louis is also adapting to NZ new environment, but he has to admit, the local sandflies are putting his patience to the test. He will get there eventually. :)
Luckily, patience is something he is known for!
