About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel and learn!

ABOUT ME

Moved to the 'big city' Ghent when I was 18, spent 8 beautiful years in that beautiful city, studied first moral philosophy and law afterwards. Then moved to Istanbul for one year and realised what a big city is. Now heading to Strasbourg!

Like to talk, laugh, like to read, good company, good food.
Curious... want to explore.. the world, or at least many parts of it.
Love frogs, but by extension, all kinds of creatures.. animals, people, nature, all very intriguing.

PHILOSOPHY

Parfois on pense qu'on fait un voyage, mais c'est le voyage qui nous fait.
