How did the pandemic disturb your life and have you managed to find balance?
The pandemic caused me, like many, to have a break from our daily rushes and appreciate the time we have more. I’m more grateful to spend each day with more consciousness.
Originality and Authenticity we all say it’s important but hard to be; do you self-assess and keep it real?
There is no other way than keeping it 100% real with yourself, and through this way also with others.
There’s a lot of talk for inclusion and diversity everywhere what do you think needs to be done in your country?
My country (Belgium) has a lot of learning to do when it comes to diversity. To me, diversity is the backbone of a progressive society. To uneducated ones diversity causes fear. I have never felt fear of something/someone that is different, it actually makes me curious and want to educate on it/them.
Do you believe in Utopia – what do you do to leave this world a better place?
The definition of Utopia reads as an unreachable perfect society. I don’t believe that a peaceful and tolerant society is impossible to achieve.
What do you find sexy/sensual in your partner?

Beauty is to show the authentic self. It is highly important to appreciate, and show!
Are you that guy that buys anything new and innovative?
Who told you about my big secret?? I do
Communicating with ourselves and others is hard. Are you a direct person or do you use sideways to get there?
Never have I once used sideways. I know when and how to approach someone, and feel obliged to help when my help is needed. I don’t have time to pretend, as we can’t waste time limiting ourselves.
What’s your harbor, your Ithaca?
Anywhere I can be myself!
