About Activity

The last 10 years i've been around, stayed in Spain, Mexico for some time and later moved to China. After returning to EU i found that it was easier to leave than to come back to this place. And even though i was born 60Km away from here it feels like being an foreigner here. I've recently taken on a job in Antwerp and getting to know the place and what it has to offer but i'm still a newby. I'm open to new contacts for exploring the city but also for general networking and activities.

Interests: sailing, outdoor stuff, piano, movies, dining etc., mountains, Cycling

I am Employed.
