  • Description

    Hi there!

    My name is Ruben. I'm 29 years old.
    I live and work in the vibrant student town of Ghent, Belgium, where people are always complaining about the weather 😁

    Like most Ghentians i am open minded and into arts (both creating and experiencing)
    I am also lucky to be a part of the lively dance and theater community that brings a lot of joy, warmth and togetherness to the city.

    I lead a simple life. I have a part time job as a home textiles retailer which allows me to have enough free time to do what i love: painting, writing, dancing and also just BEING😌

    In my upbringing practical knowledge was much higher praised than factual knowledge, both my parents didn't go to school, but they both had very creative minds and were excellent problem solvers.
    Like them, I'm not very booksmart, don't read or watch the news and know very little about politics. I think i'm still trying to figure out a way to relate this buzzing, loud world without feeling overwhelmed by it.

    I do read a lot, mostly books in the psychology section or fiction novels.

    Favorite self help books:
    A new earth by Eckhart Tolle
    Addicted to love by Jan Geurtz
    You are the happiness you seek by Rupert Spira

    Favorite fiction:
    The plains by Federico Falco
    Mr Gwynn by Allessandro Barrico
    Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

    What else:
    I'm very interested in non-duality and living slow.

    I might be somewhat addicted to baked goods 🍰🙃

    Raised as a city person but feel very much at home in the mountains 🏔
