I like to do the things that scare me and change my comfort zone. In general, I prefer trees (and mountains, and beaches, and maybe even deserts) over places with too many people. I like climbing (anything), jumping off stuff and sunshine ☀️

Water is my element. I speak for the oceans and love everything water related

I currently study finance at uni, with the hope of someday working in sustainability/climate finance. And in most things I do, talk, say, think, is love for this fragile planet :)

I’m a licensed swim teacher. I have worked at a surf club, as a content writer, in finance and in a French restaurant, and have adventures to go with most of the above.

De juiste manier om te leven is op een boot.

Constantly in search of E P I C.

People call me Nush. Please read the ‘My Home’ section before sending me a request.
