Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Visit europe, finishing my second novell, understanding life
ABOUT ME
Kind of a dreamer, corrected by reality.
Interested in too many things, such as arts, politics, anthropolgy, daily life everywhere, understanding people and history and nature and so on.
Admiring great writers, painters, filmmakers (Fellini, Bergman).
Trying to be a good father (one of my younger sons is member of couchsurfing).
Before being a writer I was a teacher and a radio-producer at Belgian Radio.
Loving Italy, but not the politics of that country.
