My name is Alice, a 27-year-old wanderer from Estonia, currently laying down my roots in the Netherlands. When I was 19 my journey crossed the latitude of the Arctic Circle in Norway where I lived in a place that could barely be called a village, with a population of just 14 people, a crossroad, a petrol station, cabins, and a hotel where I worked. It was there, in the serene isolation, that my love for life, nature, and the raw simplicity of living truly took hold. But also it became a complete turning point for my world view, my personal development and forever changed my life direction.
In August 2022, my journey brought me to the Netherlands, where I am pursuing a dream deeply rooted in education and an unquenchable thirst to learn about the world.
