What have you been up to lately Arthur?
The last 6 months were incredibly busy for me! I was giving BMX lessons to kids in Basel, Switzerland at the Pumpwerk skatepark in August; then I went to my graduation ceremony in the UK (Bachelor in European Business) and the day after I was on my way to sunny California for an amazing trip for Pull-In. 5 days later I moved to Brussels to start my new job at Levi’s at the Public Relations department, which is amazing! Thanks to Nadia Kokni (she rocks)!
