CURRENT MISSION

Just raising my kids and enjoying life

ABOUT ME

I'm half Indonesian, half Belgian (from the Flemish part of the country), but I lived a long time in Madrid, sometime in London and Manchester, Chiloé, an island in the south of Chile, and now, after wandering around the world for 12 years, I'm living back in my hometown Antwerp together with my husband, son Julian and my twin girls Romi and Angie.... And our dog Sally.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to enjoy every day as much as I can, and appreciate the little things in life that make me happy.

Teach, Learn, Share
