Bio
I have lived in Germany, USA, France, UK, Brazil and Belgium before 21 years of age... Now I live in Belgium & Luxembourg and travel wide and far... I am a hugely proud father of two daughters whom I take with me as often as I can, wherever I can, whenever I can.
I'm passionate about
Optimism, Traveling and my TEDx Community Family!!!
An idea worth spreading
In a communication class, in response to a student, I once suggested to my students that "reality means nothing, it is all about Perception". I hope to be wrong... but have not been persuaded otherwise!
Areas of expertise
communication, intercultural, public speaking
