About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing destinations

ABOUT ME

I like to take a piece of every cake. I'm a social worker enjoying that job to the fullest, but I keep my eyes open on the bigger world and try to make small changes in a positive way whenever I can. With this view on life I already made some nice travels around the world, made a short movie, organised manifestations and concerts for World Refugee Day,...
But the most important thing for me are my 2 children and my girlfriend.

PHILOSOPHY

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. (Charles Bukowski)
