CURRENT MISSION

Make the house we bought to our dream place(full renovation) and start our own brewery

ABOUT ME

I adore everything which tickles my senses: colors and forms (I like art/design), smells (going from flowers over grass over a wet sky after a rainfall,...), touches (of sunbeams on my skin, of a diverse palette of materials,...), taste (I love food, beer and wine!), sounds (all kinds of music)...
I like to discover, enjoy small things, new tastes, I´m open-minded, easy to live with, like to share, in general easily contented.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy, discover, create and enjoy again those new creations ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Action alterated by some comedies, drama for the movies.
I don´t read much novels, but discovered Paulo Coelho. I've read some of his books in 1 go. I do like to read comics a lot.
For music: I´m open to a lot of different styles. You can surprise me with some ethnic music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- a 6 month trip through South America, teaching kids (and their parents)in a maroon village in Suriname how to be more creative, also stayed in a indians village
- Climbing the Peak Lenin (>7000m)
- a 3 months-trip in the footsteps of Ghenghis Khan: travelled from China over Mongolia, over Kirgizstan, Uzbekistan and Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some stained glass techniques.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A quiet place, in the countryside…excellent for who is looking for a different (lots of nature) angle on Belgium or for who likes beers (my husband is a brewer).
