About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel around the world and meet interesting people

ABOUT ME


I'm living in Meise and working as an analyst/ programmer in Brussels. I'm an open minded person who would love to travel a bit more. I would like to meet the locals of the places I visit, so I can experience more than the regular tourist does.

PHILOSOPHY


Life is short... so live it to the fullest and enjoy!
