CURRENT MISSION

Trying to be truely me (not a current mission but a whole life mission)

ABOUT ME

I'm Belgian. I was born and grew up in a Portuguese family in La Louvière, studied in Mons and in Brussels.
I live in Brussels and I like it!

I just have a bicycle as a result of this, I can't pick you up at the station or at the airport so don't ask me!

I don't have television so if you come to my place, be prepared not to watch television (strange for some people but possible for others). I love listening to music and if you want to discover Belgium music, just be my guest! I often go to concerts!

I'm a teacher so I start early and sometimes I work (sometimes! because it's well known, teachers don't do anything!)

This is a secretword to be sure you have read my profile: SUPERFETATOIRE! So just mention it when you're asking for a couch ans be pretty sure of getting a positive answer! See you!

I love flowers and plants but I'm not good at caring them. Maybe you could show me how to do?

PHILOSOPHY

"Il est difficile de devenir ce que l'on est" Camus
It's hard to become what we are

Je domine mes émotions (Moi)
