About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing the flow of the river one stone at a time

ABOUT ME

Openminded, non-religious/dogmatic, like good discussions with people not afraid of using their grey matter. Even tempered :-) Try to only take life seriously when it's a life or death situation...we are all just stardust after all.

I run a recreational non-profit hiking group for mainly expats in my native Belgium.

PHILOSOPHY

Live free, don't abuse and don't take abuse. Use your grey matter, don't accept dogma.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I dared to travel all by myself was pretty awesome, even if it was just in relatively safe New Zealand. Now going to concentrate on studies so not much cash for faraway trips.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning from people who dare to look past the facade of things.
