CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through different eyes

ABOUT ME

I was born in the joyeuse year of 1980 in a suburb of MIGHTY Antwerp (=Borgerhout) and after several years in the big city (haha) I moved back to where I was born.
I'm very talkative and some call me: bombastic... :D
I'm always happy and in the mood for fun.

You Are Traditional and Dependable

You view the world with childlike wonder. You are very inquisitive. You can help but spy, investigate, and ask questions.
You are a very creative and innovative person. You dream big and rarely do something the same way twice.
You're easy going and easy to be around. You aren't picky or high maintenance.
You seek security in your life. Feeling safe is important to you.

You Are Austin

A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty and respect are very important to me.
Be open... you never know what's coming.

Favorite Quotes:

Interests

I love skiing, beer, tequila, football, soccer, hockey, wrestling, hurling, cycling (basicly any sports except baseball, basketball & tennis) and I LOVE watching people from the terrace of my favorite bar The Pelican Dream. Lovely view over the Hoogstraat... seriously, you see some people there.
I really enjoy hanging out with my friends, cooking, travelling and taking photos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being on the Great Wall in China was one of the highlights. It really hits you that you are standing on the one man made "building" that can be seen from space. It makes you realize how "small" humanskind is.

Buying my own appartement was another one.

All others mostly consider travelling.
