ABOUT ME

I am a (travelling) musician: play folk and world music: www.myspace.com/raphaeldecock
Love travelling, nature and study fireflies (Doctor sciences - Biology as an education)
But I also like to discover and wander in cities (especially those with ancient parts & lost of history), but cosy villages are welcome as well.
Into trying out local foods & drinks
History, traditions & languages are also favorite subjects.

PHILOSOPHY

sharing good time
