Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2026 ✨
In this festive period, I would like to wish you, your teams and loved ones happy holidays and my very best wishes for the New Year . The holiday season offers a welcome pause—a time to reflect on the months behind us, the challenges we navigated, and the connections that drove us most. Whether you are celebrating a religious holiday, observing a cultural tradition or simply enjoying a quieter moment, I hope this period brings you warmth, rest and quality time with your love

Conflict and Ocean Photography Exhibitions
🌊 Yesterday, in Liège , I was glad to catch the National Geographic “Pristine Seas: Bringing the Ocean Back” exhibition before it ends and find connection to the ocean right in my hometown. The timing couldn’t be more fitting as Belgium is a candidate to host the BBNJ Secretariat . The exhibition features impressive photographies from global expeditions at seas to document and protect the oceans. 📷 In August, I also visited the Steve McCurry “Icons” exhibit
