Born in eastern Canada from Belgian parents, lived there 25 years, moved to Belgium for 10 years, then settled in France (Lyon) for the last 10 years. Lived in Sherbrooke, Montreal, Ottawa, Brussels, Lyon, Bastia, Kabul, Strasburg and now Tianjin since sept. 2011 until june 2012 and probably more. Mechanical engineering major, renewable energy and water specialisations, now working on Airbus related equipment manufacturing. I enjoy quiet and harmonious environment, nature, plenty of natural light. Smokers, fireworks and spitting is to me as garlic is to a vampire.
