About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have great new experiences and explore places and meet people in a totally different way!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Ghent, Belgium but my parents wanted to move so I've lived in China, Beijing (but I was a baby so this doesn't really count), Canada, Ottawa and Montreal for 10 years (we moved 4 times while living in Canada), England, High Wycombe (between London and Oxford) for a year. We moved to Belgium in 2000 and I've been here ever since.

I love travelling but I haven't got as much time to travel... So I fill my time with hobby's. Vocal lessons (jazz), YCW, tons of volunteer work :)

I'm pretty clumsy, totally not a sports person, I do enjoy walking though, I love cooking and messing around in the kitchen especially baking (cupcakes and not only the normal ones but different kinds! mmmm. I really enjoy cultural activity's like concerts, theatre, festivals, museums, ...

Oh yeah, my hair changes colour every few months, so check with me if I come for a visit or if you come here and you want to recognise me :) For the moment it's dark ginger.

PHILOSOPHY

la vie en rose.... I'm farely optimistic and enjoy life as much as I can!

Interests

My parents aren't musicians but they encouraged me to follow my 'passion'. Not that I'm a musician with wild dreams of making it big. But I used to play french horn and I've been in choirs my whole life. I took jaaz vocal lessons and loved it.
