About me

About me
I adore all things past, so I studied History in Ghent. I also like to read books, so I came to Brussels to study English literature. I stuck around. I can now read books in Brussels’ historical centre.

I take my bike to go to concerts, museums, the theatre, parks and bars. I love being in a bathrobe. I try to write short stories and travel the world.

Why Brussels?
Although Brussels has some big and ugly skyscrapers, people are mostly down-to-earth.

I can buy and eat snails on the street.

I can go to the bakery dressed in my bathrobe, without anyone staring at me because of an alleged fashion offence.
