I have travelled extensively througout Europe. As a child I used to travel with my parents, in a mobilhome, avoiding touristy spots and trying to get to know the "real" country. Later I travelled a lot as part of my job. Doing business in most European countries, I got to experience the many differences between the different nations and its people and enjoyed the diversity. My favourite country for holidays is Italy (southern part, Toscane and Rome). My trip to Cuba also was a highlight! As was U.A.E.

There are plans to "settle down, get married, maybe even have children"... When? Soon, I hope. Where? Maybe in Tehran since my boyfriend is considering a joboffer that will take us there for at least 4 years.

I'd love hearing from you all. You can address me in English, French, German, Italian (I(ll do my best all though my Italian is pretty rusty) and off course Flemish.
