CURRENT MISSION

Too rediscover the world and make my mind spinning for nice writings

ABOUT ME

Hi!
Bartelomeu Dias discovered much of Africa in the 15th century. Since my full name is Barthelomeüs, I'd love to be in his footsteps. In the beginning of February 2013 moved to Porto to start an masters' degree in Political Science, after obtaining my bachelors degree in the same (specialization: Political psychology and education) at the Leiden University. In 2015 I've moved back to the Netherlands after a two month trip through Argentina and Chile. Currently I work as a secondary school teacher. I am now 30 years old and ready to discover even more of the world now as Corona is almost being caged again!

PHILOSOPHY

In my re-discovery of the world I easily fall in love: with cities, languages and nature.
