I'm a 68 year old retired man living in Vorselaar. I love travelling, in specific the Provence and Africa, where I love to hike. I'm always busy with some projects I'm working on. Very recently, I completed an Expedition North Cyprus. The goal of the project was to do a bus ride through Cyprus, in the end we sold the bus and all revenues went to an orphanage in Cyprus.
