CURRENT MISSION

Looking back in fifteen years and thinking: I have had a great time!

ABOUT ME

I'm studying in Ghent and living both in Ghent en Bruges. I've accomplished my bachelor of science and I'm now studying for my master of science: physics and astronomy diplom. I'm also doing some volunteer work in a flemish organisation: kazou. It's an organisation who goes on travel with kids from 7-18 years. Our task is to animate them and give them a wonderful week!
Politically I'm quite left and I'm an atheist (which doesn't mean I hate religious people.)

I like to talk a lot, especially when I'm at a pub, café, ...
I'm someone who's interested in everything. I want to know a lot but off course there are some things which are a little more interesting than others. I'm interested in politics, climate change, music (almost everything except metal and music which is too experimental), science, history, philosophy, psychology, ...
I know nothing about economics because my teacher once had a wonderful gift of make me hate economics.

I'm very openminded and in combination with my curiousness it's a good way to learn a lot. I'd like to be at places where I know nobody and just talk to people to know where they from, what they do and how they do that.

Sometimes I could be quite expressive but not in a creative or artistic way. On a wonderful evening I'll never say no to go dancing at a club.

Sometimes some songs could brighten my day!
(NOTE: this is not the only music genre I like)

PHILOSOPHY

Looking back in fifteen years and thinking: I have had a great time!
I want to enjoy the live that I'm having now and use the possibilities that are ahead of me.
Now I'm young, I could do a lot, so I have to enjoy it!
But I don't want to waste time partying, going out and travelling when I have to study. I want to fulfill my studies in time it should be.
