About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying not to be attached to whatever, so that the mind is constantly open for new experiences!!!

ABOUT ME

i am a living at 20 minutes from brussels and near to the town of Leuven. every second week my 2 boys (12 and 15 years) are living with me. so the other week i am free..and love to travel and meet people from all over the world..

PHILOSOPHY

i believe everybody should travel as much as he can and make contact with local people so that we can learn from eachother and see that we are all the same human beeings and that the diversity in languages and culture is a gift to human kind.
