About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life and discover as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy music, make new meetings and spend some good time with nice people. I enjoy interesting conversations around a drink or food (that I cook or I discover) and I'm almost always ready for party.

My last ten years were quite a rollercoaster. After finishing my studies I worked for two years in the music business in Brussels and the I quit everything to go on a travel for three years. Since I'm back, I've been a tour guide in Brussels, a teacher for teenager and now I'm teaching french to people who just arrive in Belgium and I really like what i do (and everything I did before!).

PHILOSOPHY

I try to enjoy what life brings to me without expecting too much (that doesn't means that I'm a lazy guy waiting all day in front of TV, quite the opposite).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking close to a active volcano in Indonesia, Skydive in New-Zealand, see the sunrise on the temples of Bagan in Burma, spend a night in a tent at the top of the castle in Kotor - Montenegro, spend a night alone on an island in Tonga, four days of Transsiberian from Moscow to Irkutsk, crossing the desert with my old car in Australia, 10 days Vipassana retreat in Nepal, hitchhiked from Brussels to Barcelona in less than 22 hours, and probably a lot of others crazy things, :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing travel stories, I start to have a few and I always like heard from others.
