About Me

ABOUT ME

Who am I? That's a good question... Still working on that one :-) When I was a boy scout they gave you an animal name that depicts your character. Mine was Peacefull Badger, get it? Me neither, doesn't make a whole lot of sense... guess I'm peacefull. Well, you'll just have to find out in person if we ever meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many movies to mention but I especially like anything "film noir"

Kerouac/London/Thoreau/Hemingway/Hesse/Dostoyevsky/
Anything having to do with the Beat Generation
Hard-boiled/ Pulp fiction

Dylan, Waits and The Beatles are like my holy trinity but I like lots of different stuff, everything from The Sonics to Charles Mingus and beyond

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving everything behind to go travelling for six months was pretty cool!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, not much to see in my home town but this being Belgium everything is very close by. I know my way pretty well around Leuven and I have been working in Brussels some time now so I could show you some nice things there and I can even throw in some free museum visits and beer advise :-)
