I am Maaike, a student from Belgium currently studying in Japan. I have finished my bachelor's degree of Japanese studies in Belgium, I started my Master course there and now I am doing research in Japan, about Japanese social problems, at the same time. I just turned 24 and I have done modelwork once in Belgium so I thought it would be nice to continue that here in Japan. It is a nice way to find balance between my life as a student and being active in the creative world of modelling and acting. I am a very social person who can easily adapt herself to different environments and circumstances. In my free time I am usually studying, cycling, practicing pilates or playing the flute.
