About me
Hi there, my name is Virginie! I’m super glad you landed on my website. My passion is aviation! Despite my young age I already have a lot of stories to tell.
But first, let me introduce myself. I’m 20 y/o currently working on my bachelors degree of Aeronautical Engineering. Apart from my studies, aviation is my hobby. For starters I am a licensed glider pilot and flight instructor.
Aside from that I’ve also been a youth ambassador and godmother of the Belgian Air Force, and you can find me flying all kinds of aircraft and helicopters.
Last but not least I can proudly call myself an Elevate(her) ambassador, more about that on the ‘articles’ page!
