Introduction

Hello My name is Hervé and I'm 49 years old. I was born in South Africa and lived there under the sun till age 17. We moved to Belgium ( Liège ) and I had the difficult task of learning French, searching for the sunny weather and surviving a cultural shock -:) I have dual nationalities South African / Belgian. I continued my education and entered my adult life ( army duties , job , marriage , evening school …. ) Some 30 years and a divorce later , I met a sweet dutch girl who was in Belgium for a year and was returning home to Amsterdam .. so my two dogs and I ….well … we followed her home …. and met the cat ( “Ouch “). I am currently learning 'THE' Dutch …... Je parle aussi le français & ik spreek een beetje Nederlands

I joined expat.com on 02 January 2013.
