CURRENT MISSION

Try to manage time :-)

ABOUT ME

Former accountant that left that life for what it was and enjoyed being a hard working florist for nearly 13 years. Changed course again to be a Technician at Flanders Marine Institute. Living the challenge and with a passion for nature.

I think there's a thing to understand and learn everywhere and from anything/anyone and try to keep an open mind. Tend to live with a natural curiosity for things and allways in for a chat or walk. Storm or no storm.

I like to feel rain on my face, to find some tiny flower hidden under a big leaf, to see a smile from old or young. I like strange fruits and many, maaany...other things. And some other things not :-)

I'm a born optimist, and rather do things today then tomorrow. Hands on and down to earth.

PHILOSOPHY

Try all things at least once.

Chinese proverb:
" Mistake is the father of wisdom"

Oh, and kill television! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you see beauty in the smallest or the largest things, there is too much you admire/wonder about to write down here...

Teach, Learn, Share

How you do philosophic conversations under the stars on the beach, how you should question yourself sometimes, how our media doesn't tell it all, how these economic crisis became real.. but also all about the dunes, ecology, fossils, carpenting, flowers and plants in general..and floral art .. and perhaps some little more things..
