About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find some contentness. Then, recommit to learn and discover and share.

ABOUT ME
LIVING IN ZICHEM, close to Diest, Flanders, Belgium, a little town (with a train station at 15 min. max. walking)

Old-er. My most important hobby was the youth movement out of which one can never really retire. i'm also quite fond of running and the atmosphere around it. my best literature hint around that: "what I talk about when I talk about running" by best-selling author and life long runner H. Murakami

2 brothers and 2 sisters.
Lived in Westerlo, a very small town in Belgium, a bit south-east of Antwerpen, moved to Zichem - very green, very cosy, very flat and on the pelgrim road to S. de Compostela
My love for couchsurfing was greatly enhanced at the moment i started a european voluntary service in pau, france. I worked at the bureau of international relations of the university of pau (uppa).

I like a lot the new people i meet, actually with anyone who is just a little bit sympa and open minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep on dreaming, planning and sharing!

Personally I am always thinking of travelling, working abroad, but if you wait for something too long, circumstances can make it too little, too late.
