About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm looking for a certain way of living which gives me plenty of satisfaction

ABOUT ME

For the moment I'm studying for my master in nursing at the university of Antwerp. I spend most of my time to school, sport (volleybal) and scouting. In fact, I haven't got a lot of time left to sit for my television and do nothing.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't listen too much to people who say what you have to do. Just do what you like the most.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I like movies where you have to find logical explanations for what is happening in the movie by gattering more and more information. Movies that really had me on the edge of my seat were:
The Sixth Sense, Inception, The Butterfly Effect, The Prestige, A Clockwork Orange, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Shawshank Redemption, Shutter Island, The Green Mile, Loft, De Helaasheid Der Dingen, Charlies Angels, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Pulp Fiction,...

Music:
I love different styles of music and I'm quite open minded to learn new things. Groups I really enjoy listening to are: Queens of the Stone Age, Wolfmother, The Van Jets, Vampire Weekend, Black Box Revelation, The Black Keys, Beirut, Tuneyards, Gogol Bordello, Incubus, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Doors, Bart Peeters, The Morning Benders, Bon Jovi, The Wombats, Noah and the whale, Poutatorvi, Jake Bugg, Supergrass, Stromae,...

Books:
Right now I'm slightly addicted to the genre graphic novels. Graphic novels I recently read are: Maus, Blankets, Nu we hier toch zijn, Dan maak je maar zin, Mouse Guard: 1152 and Watchmen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a lot of things which I enjoyed very much and gave me an amazing feeling, but they're not so spectacular in the sense of full of danger or with a lot of adventure. The most recent amazing thing I did was a course with scouting where we travelled with a group of 12 people across Belgium and learned a lot about ourself and others in a group, communication, giving feedback,...

Teach, Learn, Share

What a difficult question. I'm not good at a particular thing. Maybe I'll be able to learn you how to make good chocolate mousse. And if you want, I can learn you how to juggle!
