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.

Le New Chattouille

Cats' crib

"Le New Chattouille" in Brussels is the city's very own cat café! It's a bit expensive, but it's good for the kitties, and, who am I kidding, I love it too...
