Raf Mathys, born in 1977, has been living in Forest since 2015. He has Belgian roots and works as a financial advisor. For him, Brussels is both metropolitan and village-like, friendly and considerate. He enjoys neighborhood parties, the sense of togetherness in Brussels, and the opportunities provided by transport and technology to travel smoothly through the city. He regrets the lack of cleanliness and the chaos. He loves the parks in his neighborhood, as well as Tour & Taxis and the Gare Maritime. His questions for the future concern cleanliness, political unity, and the autonomy of Brussels.
