He comes from Romania, landed in Brussels with the intention to study, covid torpeded all his plans, lived on a social allowance and had to take a simple job, and that was taking care of the drinks at the concert hall.
What an amazing story! Well done young man and kudos to the manager that gave him this opportunity!
So much for competitions…..
So glad everything worked out for the young man.
What a fantastic story!
