About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Where's my teethbrush...?

ABOUT ME

I'm a rather serious guy, but then again not too serious. I like laughing. Love silence, listening to people and good music. I work as a journalist for the national tv in Belgium. I read books and adore Belgian beers. Love travelling. And I like sunny weather. Or heavy snow...

PHILOSOPHY

I have to think about a philosphy...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Washing elephants in Chitwan National Park in Nepal was really amazing. Or was it elephants washing me? :-)

Hiking in every corner of Sweden.

And my job helps me to see some history from the first line.
