So, my name is Kevin Cleynhens. I was born on May 19, 1982. I live in a little village called Werchter (about 30 kilometers from Brussels, near Leuven). 

Education
I got my degree in economic sciences with a specialisation in International Relations. At EHSAL, I studied the economic side of the international system. From September 2004 till June 2005, I took classes at the University of Leuven. I specialized further in international relations and conflict management.

Job
On October 3, 2005 a new chapter of my life started. I was hired by Aviapartner as a loadmaster. For now, I really like the job. Most of people ask me why I choose to go and work there while I have a degree in economics. The answer is really simple actually. I would go bananas on a 9-to-5 job where I would spend my entire time behind a desk.

Hobbies
It may seem somewhat surprising to you, but I am fascinated by aviation. I like to go to the airport, mainly Brussels National Airport, and take pictures of aircraft (=planespotting). When I'm not at the airport taking pictures, I like to read all about it or sort my pictures. Besides taking pictures of aircraft, I also collect their safety cards. I guess I must have picked that up during my vacation job.

But that's not all there is about me, I like to read fantasy books, thrillers, detective stories, and so on (I absolutely adore Clive Cussler or Tom Clancy). I couldn't live without my music. It's like John Miles put it: 'Music was my first love, and it will be my last'. You know what, he's absolutely right... You could say I have a wide variety of genres I like: from classical (Ouverture 1812 from Tsjaikovski is magnificent) to pop & rock (like Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Status Quo, REM, ...) and modern artists (Coldplay, Vanessa Carlton, The Corrs, ...). I absolutely dispise house and techno. I even refuse to call it music.

Besides taking pictures of airplanes, I occasionally take photographs of other things/persons as well. Here are some of them.
