CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world, day by day.

ABOUT ME

I believe that with a positive open mind you can get very far in this world. That's why I try to do the same in my life. Respect for each other and kindness are other keywords, nothing so good to bright up the day with some humor.
My biggest passion is working with disabled youngsters at Akabe Ommekaar Turnhout.

My personal bucket list

1. Receive the Nobel Prize for Peace
2. Visit every country in the world (19/203)
3. Run a marathon
4. Speak 10 languages

I know that some might be a bit unrealistic, but I am allowed to dream right ?

PHILOSOPHY

Don't think to much, just go for it!
I believe that in live you get much chances, some a lot crazier than the others, but I truly think that by just going for it, you discover the most, explore the furthermost, meet the best and enjoy everything. Or almost :)

Intereses

1. Scouting
I am in a scouting movement for disabled youngsters, we have meetings with them every 2 weeks and those are always highlights in my calendar. Its a few hours of great fun and the best reward is to see them go home with a huge smile on their face.

2. Travel
As long as time and money allow me to, (they actually don't but I do it anyway) I want to expand my horizons, not only by exploring other countries and landscapes but mainly by meeting new people and different personalities. The excitement I get up with every morning I travel is indescribable and that what makes me planning my next trip even before I get home from my last one.

3. Soccer
Both fan and player, I try to enjoy every aspect of the game. Is it by playing weekly matches (on a very low level :) ) with friends, either by supporting my favorite team RSC Anderlecht or the national Belgian team where I so strongly believe in.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Bungeejumped off a 216 meters bridge in Bloukrans, South Africa. Was my first bungeejumpever and I did it twice :)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

As a true Belgian it is my duty to learn the world not only the greatness of the Belgian gastronomy but also to teach them how to apply it. At the moment I do this by teaching them how to make real Belgian fries.
