With 30 years of experience living in Kyoto, I’ll guide you through some of the most scenic and culturally rich spots. I was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and enjoyed my teenage years during the peak of the "Flower Power Hippie" generation. I hitchhiked through Europe, living on a beach south of Agadir, Morocco, for some time to learn English. For most of my adult life, I was a public relations repres
entative for a Christian NGO in the Benelux area. Aside from Japan, I have lived in Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Singapore, to name a few. I love baking things such as bread, pies, and fruit cakes, and I am an avid Blues lover; some of my favourite artists are B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I enjoy a good movie with a glass of wine, a Belgian Trappist, and some Rochefort blue cheese. Since September 2012, I have been an honorary member of the Kyoto Guide Club. I have lived in Japan for almost 30 years, 5 years in Tokyo and 25 years in Kyoto, the ancient capital. My aim is to provide information about this extraordinary city to future travellers. If you have any questions related to Kyoto or Nara, don't hesitate to contact me.
