Interview

IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT... with the people I love, doing the things I love… relaxing and sharing the best things in life with friends.

MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… when I was at the Amalfi coast in 2014. As a true Italy addict, this is one of the places I love most. It has so many beautiful hidden spots, every time you visit the area, there are new things to discover. And yes… the food is truly amazing!

THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS... Australia. Have seen so many beautiful things about it… with a great diversity in things to see and experience. This is definitely on my bucket list!

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS... making people happy with the things I love… To see people smile when they receive their images is worth so much more than anything else!

IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE… just stay the person you are and keep on loving and enjoying each other like the moment you met. Also on your wedding day… make sure you try to enjoy the day, you only get married once!

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… it is a country with a great diversity and in the heart of Europe. So easy to travel to all the beautiful places really near to Belgium. I think I can be quite lucky to live here.

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… in Tuscany or Andalusia I think. Somewhere in the countryside, enjoying the good life surrounded by loving locals, learning the tricks to really love the small things in life…. maybe one day this will be reality!

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE IS? The godfather.

MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I’VE EVER EATEN WAS… well, I think this was the goodbye dinner at the Moda e Arte workshop in 2014. The location (Hotel Caruso) made it so amazing… the attendees and the workshop team were the cherry on the cake to make this a night to never forget. These moments are even more important and touching than the previous real “working” days.

THE PETS I OWN ARE… unfortunately none at this moment, but we always had a boxer at my parents place. one day when I have the space and time to have a pet, I’m pretty sure it will be a be a boxer again… love them!
