This is my first blog post of many. It will count as a brief summary of my interests and goals. The collection of this one with future blog posts will unveil my progress in time to the beautiful person reading this.

I’m a 24 years old guy from Belgium.

I graduated with my master’s in Industrial Engineering Electromechanics in the summer of 2022. However, I did not feel satisfied with my field of study. Thus I decided to shake up my life entirely and fully commit myself to my future! I strive to grow in every aspect of my life. Every day.

My current interests: • Self-development → Becoming a better version of myself every day • Personal health → A variety of sports and a healthy lifestyle • Programming → Web3, machine learning (AI), more to discover • Content creation → Videos, writing, and potentially podcasts • Entertainment → Delivering unique experiences to other people • Traveling → Discovering nature and other cultures

Self-development

I started keeping a diary in 2019. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. By doing so I dwell on what happens in my life and evaluate my actions and decisions. I rarely read back what I wrote down. But I can if I ever want to.

My diary is the most valuable thing I own and it is irreplaceable. It has been the most consistent act in all the phases and flows my life has been through over the past 5 years.

At the end of 2022, I wrote a year's resume (60+ pages) and messages to my future self. I plan on doing this at the end of every year. Every day I thrive to become a better version of the person I was yesterday.

I love sports and want to be good in all sports I try. I sport to improve my focus and filter my thoughts. Especially individual sports act as a form of meditation to me. My goal is to be in the best possible shape athletically so that my body can never limit my options in my adventurous life.

The sports I consistently perform: • Running: 3x week • Swimming: 1x week • Fitness: 2x week • Ski-/snowboarding: 1 week a year • Hiking: vacations during summer

Sports I would like to learn/do more: • (Kite-)Surfing • Diving • Calisthenics • Skydiving • Paragliding • (High alpine) climbing

In my sleeping pattern are 8 hours a night planned during my routine periods. If 8 hours are not met then I take a nap during the day when I lose my focus. However, during vacations, weekends with friends, events, … I can incur a lot of sleep deprivation and like to push the boundaries.

My eating habits consist of healthy food and eating 3–4 times a day. Fast food and other treats are avoided as much as possible and rarely occur. Drinking enough water is essential as well. I don’t follow any particular diet but meat in every meal is definitely not essential in my eating pattern.

Programming

I got very interested in web3 in the past two years and became interested in its beautiful ideology. Rebuilding the internet in its purest form where all data is self-owned and where transparency and decentralization lead to equal access without the potential for discrimination.

So, I decided I wanted to learn programming and crypto to pursue a job with like-minded people in this innovative and promising industry. I want to help build the future of the internet. I thrive to contribute a piece of the puzzle in the long roadmap to create the fair and rightful way the internet was intended.

Currently, I am learning: • Computer Science on Codecademy • Solidity through coding courses • Blockchain Development at University

Once these three are finished I would like to dive deeper into machine learning, data processing, and cybersecurity. I am aware that my interests will become more specific once I learn more about the possibilities in different fields.

Content creation

Even though my whole life I’ve never thought of myself as being creative, it has excited me more and more. I like to write a lot (in my diary) and suppose that this could also be used for a broader context if people are interested in my writings. In the past, I wrote down my lucid dreams for a while and blog posted them already.

I’m also learning bit by bit to video edit and would love to share my experiences and progress through my life with an audience. Currently, only a few videos have been made but more are coming in the future. I own both a GoPro and an Insta360 camera. I’m an adrenaline junkie and like to do adventurous things.

A podcast seems like a nice idea to do as well in the future, but this is not an immediate priority. Need to take on my ambitions step by step.

Entertainment

My whole life I’ve been a member of scouting. This experience of entertaining children and organizing events and summer camps has left its mark. I love to lead groups and be the spokesperson for entertainment. I’m very adventurous and like to deliver a unique experience to other people. It makes me genuinely happy!

This year I joined a traveling organization. As crewmember it is your responsibility to be the point of contact with participants and spark their excitement for activities. I would love to climb up inside this organization and join multiple trips each year.

But this also includes friends and encounters with strangers. Every moment is one to cherish and every encounter with people should be one to remember and make the best of.

Traveling

The world had so much beauty to offer and it would be a shame to only see a fraction of it. Most importantly nature itself. I can’t wait to see it, preferably in its untouched form. But also experiencing other cultures and getting to know people with different views and mindsets. Every person has a meaningful opinion and I’m eager to learn from each and every one of them.
