About Me

I'm a student and aspiring traveler.

I love exploring and having the freedom to just decide to go left or right based on how I feel, not what my destination is. I get immensely happy in large open spaces, but also in small ally ways of cities.

My preferred mode of transport is a bike, because it is not too fast and not too slow at the same time. Also, biking is being truly independent, not needing help from anyone but yourself, and thus incredibly empowering.

Interests

I'm currently studying "Urban Geography", so cities and maps fascinate me. Other than that; History, people, anthropology, other points of view, music, local and global struggles that people have of any sort, and finally unexplored(-ish) places.

  • festivals

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few amazing things I've done, really.

- I biked 3600km from the Netherlands to Rome
- I've been to the Azores to watch whales, which are the most amazing animals on the world.
- I've painted a world map on a wall in a little school in the slums of New Delhi. Still my proudest achievement.
- I've almost died when a storm hit the festival I was at.

What I Can Share with Hosts
