About Me

I moved to the Netherlands from South Africa in July 2016.

I came here to study (again). I studied before and had a corporate job for two years, which I really didn't enjoy anymore and decided now is the time to follow my passion, which lies more in the education side of things perhaps.

CURRENT MISSION

To change the world? Or at least try. I also want to experience as many new things as possible and see as many places as possible and meet as many awesome new people as possible.
To have unique Human experiences with people that share similar passions and ideas.

ABOUT ME

I like to chill at home/go out/be lazy/be active/go out/stay in.

I enjoy learning new things and having good conversations.

If you want to know what other people think about me - read my references.

I believe that all humans are awesome - our circumstances take away from this.

TRAVELING IS CAPITALIST. CHANGE MY MIND :)
