Hi, I am a Flemish writer and retired teacher living in Brasschaat, a town near Antwerp, Belgium. I'm active on the Dutch, French and English Wikipedia. French was my first native language, then, after 'relocating' to Antwerp, I learned Dutch. Although I understand some Spanish and German, I do not speak or write it fluently. B.A. in education, studying Arts and Humanities for fun at the Dutch Open University. I also took courses in scriptwriting, music theory and network management for a few years.

Interests include philosophy, English literature, jazz, western esotericism. Hobbies include painting, playing all kinds of musical instruments, and writing.

I am the webmaster and editor of Shakespearevertalingen, a site dedicated to free available Dutch translations of Shakespeare's work, and of John Donne, Leven en werk where I work in collaboration with other poets and translators.

Since English is not my native language, please, if necessary, feel free to correct my writing.
