I just moved back to Ghent, my hometown, after 12 years! I think I'll stick around for a few years but I do miss the warmth and plants especially of tropical climates. Since I got back I did a retraining to software developer and I'm currently working on a project to battle water scarcity in Flanders. I'm optimistic and often in for a good chat!
