Hobbies

With the Kalmthoutse Heide and Grenspark area as my garden, I very much take my road bike and or running shoes to exercise in the middle of greenery.

In addition, I regularly get into the oldtimer to discover Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries and share this passion.

Huge fan of Vintage Design going from furniture, fairs, books & others around that.

With almost 2 decades in business, including most of it in Wine (and Food), dining is always a global discovery! Good Food & Wine is good for the soul!

As a creative generalist, I enjoy reading books that manifest personal & professional development.
