Description

We’re, Abel and Louise-Marie (23 and 24yo), a Belgian couple traveling through Southeast Asia for five months. We wish to be involved in benevolence projects while we're here, helping out wherever necessary and winding down before heading back to full-time jobs—mine in management consulting, Louise-Marie in employment law. Both of us speak French, English and Dutch.

Here’s what we can bring to the table:
✔️ Teaching to children – French, English, law, math, stats, finance (even football coaching—12 years of experience)
✔️ Marketing & content – Graphic design, video editing, strategy
✔️ (Abel) Coding - Fullstack experience (my expertise is in end-to-end ML / AI development)
✔️ Admin & finance – Anything from budgeting to employment law updates
✔️ Sports & activities – Running, yoga, general fitness
However, we’d be happy to help out with anything you need!

A bit about us: We both love to run (ran a marathon last year, Bangkok Half coming up), surf (still learning), and dive into new places, meet new people and in general try to enjoy every day to the fullest! I’m passionate about football and business—follow markets closely, read financial newspapers daily, and love talking to people in the scene.
