About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Buying every single 'Le Petit Prince' edition I come across

ABOUT ME

Vocational writer, professional Engineer.
Having spent the last 9 years away from home, now is time for Belgium.
I won't refuse a good chat about music, cinema, books or whatever you want but also won't refuse to discover a new city, new food, new dishes or just new places to go out.

PHILOSOPHY

if your sign is to play, play all;
if your sign is to burn, burn all;
if your sign is to sing, sing all, your shirt, your yard, your health...

(Silvio Rodríguez)

Music, Movies, and Books

It is so much that I can only mention a few.
For reading Jack Kerouac and Roberto Bolaño.
For music anything from the 60s to the new century. From The Beatles, The Who, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd, coming through Madchester, Wilco, Stone Roses to Franz Ferdinand, Vampire Weekend, Bastille, Of Monsters and Men; and much more.
Lots of movies I like but just to say two: Casablanca and 2001: A Space Odyssey are amongst my favourites.
