CURRENT MISSION

Trying to be smart enough to recognize what can be changed

ABOUT ME

Hello. I'm a quiet, down to earth guy and I live with my daughter Hannah in Poperinge, Belgium. I try to earn my living by growing organic berries (raspberries, goosberries, currants). I like a lot to ride the bicycle, to walk, to play badminton, to read, to have a drink with friends, to play games, visit concerts, ...I have travelled only in Europe: Spain, a lot of biking in France, Italy, Ireland, Tsjechia, Germany, Greece, UK and the Netherlands. Next I'd like to visit Scotland, Scandinavia and Canada. Also Australia, South-America, Africa, South-East Asia, ... are on the imaginary list :-)By CS I hope to meet people from other places and help them to enjoy their travelling experience in the region.

PHILOSOPHY

With the words of a wise man: Give me the strength to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what can be changed and the wisdom to recognize the difference between both
