I'm a French-speaking Belgian who enjoys reading, writing, and exploring genealogy as well as population genetics, which has expanded my worldview. When I travel, I seek out historic sites and places with soul. I enjoy spending time with a few close friends, but large crowds and noisy events aren't my thing. I resemble that character in humorous videos who returns from a social gathering utterly drained, having had to look cheerful for hours on end. I have a sharp sense of humour and a keen eye for the absurd.
