About Me

CURRENT MISSION

No Reserves. No Retreats. Some Regrets.

ABOUT ME

Avid traveller, who likes to think of himself as open-minded, polite and curious. This allows me to escape from the world of eurocrats and Brussels Bubbelians as I am a journalist in my daily life.

PHILOSOPHY

No pain, no gain and the sky is the limit.
Surely I didn't invent these mottos. But who cares?
Need a helping? Don't sit around! Just ask!
