CURRENT MISSION

meeting the world in only one room

ABOUT ME

i'm crazy about art, design, alternative ways of living, travelling, analogue photography and movies. i study graphic design and have a lot of books i treasure. the graphic design part is really a big deal in my life: never thought i would study this but i did it anyway and it turned out to be one of the best choices in my life. it has become a way of living. at night i like to go out at a nice place, having interesting conversations, just being quiet or enjoying the evening with a movie and some great porto or wine. i'm not the kind of person to stay at home every evening, i really like to go out and see the world. especially when it involves a nice conversation in a cosy little bar. i really LOVE flee markets, second hand and budget shopping, so when you're in fond of these things i can show you the best places around! also i care a lot about the city Gent i'm living in, and i'm sure i can tell you about all the best hidden places en most delicious little restaurants in small streets. when i find the time (and i'm sure i will), we can have diner or a drink together, visit a flee market or just enjoy a nice conversation with a bottle of wine on the Graslei, where all young people come together at the evening.

the environment where i'm living in is a very personal, intimate place with a lot of candlelight, pillows, retro stuff back from the fifties till seventies and plants. really love plants! i enjoy being creative as much as i can by creating things and looking around all the time.

i want to do as much as possible while alive. spanish lessons, dance class, web design lessons, designing jewelry, voluntary work for a film festival or music festivals, working in a bar in gent... i have a very busy shedule but i'm sure i can find time for you. i work in hasta manana, a spanish tapas bar in Gent, make sure you come and visit it's really one of the nicest places around!

my life wouldn't be mine without travelling and meeting new people. i'd rather have a small house and a cheap car so i have the opportunity to go to as much places in the world that i want... and there's still so much do discover. sometimes it's very refreshing and just necessary to see new invironments and get to know total different persons to find yourself. i want to learn all the time. there are yet so many things to discover in life.
