ABOUT ME

We are Matthias Demuzere (36 years, from Belgium, post PhD, Geographer) and Susanne Koolhof (32, from the Netherlands, Geographer).

We travel as much as we can in between jobs and during our holidays. We studied/worked/lived in Portugal, South Africa, Australia & Singapore.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to live with respect for nature and other people, be open minded, interested, patient and social. Both working on climate and international aid/development issues, makes us aware of the social and physical environment. Without sacrificing on the quality of life and living, we choose to live in a more sustainable way. We are members of a co-housing project in Ghent.
