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.

Cemetery of Dieweg
A funerary forest

Rotonde
Concentric concerts
"Rotonde" is one of my favorite locations in Brussels. It's the most intimate venue of the Botanique's concert halls. It's a sweet paradise...

Friture René
'Allo Allo!' fancy fries
"Friture René" is a fancy, family-run Brussels restaurant I visit when I want the best fries, something which isn't as straightforward as it might seem...

Station Brussels-Congress
After hours venue
"Station Brussels-Congress" is my favorite train station in Brussels. It is often dead. Except when an event is held! Then, the bar opens...

Super pump
"Café La Pompe" in Brussels is the results of an old, abandoned gas stationed covered in graffiti taken and remade into something (almost) completely new.

Itinéraires AMO
Indoor climbing
"Itinéraires AMO" is my favorite climbing gym in Brussels. It's one of the cheapest, has challenging tracks and a very pleasant vibe!

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...

Lourdes Grotto
Hope in the margins
The "Lourdes Grotto" in Brussels is an impressive replica of the one in France, a symbol of hope in the margins in these times of crisis...
