About Me

ABOUT ME

When I was young, I travelled a lot thanks to my mother. We were travelling during the hollidays, and I've never lost a school journey during the secondary education. My mother always agreed with all the journeys I could have with the school. But in my opinion, I began really to travel after my university degree. During my studies, I met a people from everywhere(I was living in a belgian "kot" where we were 36 young people, and half of us was strangers). After my studies, I travelled a lot, most part in Europe and Africa. Several months after my university degree, I decided to go to the Azores making a trainingship. And finally I stay there for 1 and 1/2 year. When I came back to Belgium, I decided to stay in Brussels. I'm now living and working in Brussels since 6 years! I also think important to know and to visit places in my own country. I'm very proud to show all the cities and touristic points of my country to strangers.

PHILOSOPHY

Even if sometimes I see the bad side of life, I'm trying to enjoy every precious things that our Earth offers. When I have a problem, I know that I'll overcome. Human being is so resistant!
I'm a fan of Paulo Coelho stories, so I agree with his philosophy: open our eyes to meet our destiny and listen to our hearts. Life is full of signs. Everybody is a part of the life's puzzle.
