About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life to its fullest!

ABOUT ME

I am quite extravert, cheerful and very social.
And always eager to explore the world, its nature and its culture, its people!

I love travelling, getting to new places, and every time adoring earth and humanity in a new way. Cliché but true!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is fun, we have everything we need in our own hands (maybe not what happens, but how we deal with it). Try and explore, and admire life to its fullest :-)

Interests

- music (I am an active choir conductor, composer and piano player)

- nature

- people, culture, history

- science (after studying philosophy, I studied music, and after that I studied physics and did a PhD in theoretical physics - trying to keep things varied)

- cooking

- crafting

- board games

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting my own humanitary project in Rwanda. This was priceless - it makes such a difference if you can help people directly, not through organisations..

Oh and maybe the most amazing thing I ever saw: a moonbow! It is a rainbow during the night, made by moonlight. Extremely rare, but I was lucky enough to witness it while camping on top of a waterfall during a storm and full moon..

Teach, Learn, Share

- I love music! Singing, playing the piano, writing music and last but not least: making others sing - as I choir conductor I have lots of experience with that last :-) Or I can teach you how to write some catchy songs!

- Cooking and eating are two things that (as a good Belgian) I adore! I can make you some typical Belgian/French food (or teach you recipes). And tell you endless stories of all the different beers that are brewed in our small country.
