CURRENT MISSION

See more of the world, and meet more of the people in it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a computer scientist, currently living in Ghent. I am what people call a geek and enjoy Science-Fiction, reading books and playing videogames. I'm also a health freak and love sports and healthy food. I work out at the gym, am a snowboard teacher and really enjoy longboarding as well. I drive a small Honda Monkey motorcycle (fake replica) and love to tour around with it. Some people have called me shy, but I am just a really relaxed person.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a very materialistic person. I like gadgets and tools that give me freedom (phone, gps, motor) but I would never buy a sweater because it has a certain brand logo on it. I value my life through experiences. How much I've seen in the world, how many cuisines I've enjoyed, how many cultures and people I've met. That's why I enjoy spending the little money I have on traveling.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

My favourite book is "the Alchemist" by Paul Coehlo, it's a very interesting and philosophical story about a character I can heavily relate to. I'm a big fan of the Lord of the rings and hobbit books and movies as well as other fantasy and science fiction.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

The most beautiful archeology I have seen was Ephesus, Turkey. I had just finished a paper on Roman culture about death and burial and I really enjoyed seeing a lot of evidence about the things I've come across while studying the subject.
The most special natural thing I have witnessed was whale watching in Boston. I saw a whale and its calf breach the surface mutliple times from close by.
