About Me

Cureent mission:
Stay in touch with myself and go a bit nuts.

ABOUT ME

I (am):
a dwarf
bubbly
sometimes spontaneous
sometimes wanting to be more spontaneous:)
energetic
have a plan most of the times
trying not to be fixed on plans
i like hitchhiking
sometimes my mouth is faster than my brain, but tell me if that´s so
fast with my bike:)
sometimes too critical
happy +colorful person
like living in a (small) city like Gent
on the other hand i miss nature
interested in different cultures/languages/taditions
i want to travel the whole world
finished EVS in Belgium

One year ago i didn't really realise how lucky i am to be born in europe and to have the opportunity to travel mostly everywhere i want. To me people are human beings with or without passport, but your life can be a nightmare without it. It's a paper with a number on it but it means a lot to the governement. Have you ever thought about for how many things you need your passport?
I didn't do it before, all the things seemed granted because i got a passport.
I want to help those people without papers.

PHILOSOPHY

Bunt und Gesund!!!
DO IT YOURSELF as long as you have the opportunity!
recycle your brain:)
sometimes its better not to expect anything. You cannot get disappointed so easily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is:
+when you have a roof over your head
+having the acess to water and electricity
+if you can follow a certain education
+if you have enough food everyday
+if you`re born in europe
+ a dischwasher
+ a washingmaschine

+AMAZING IS:if people don`t take everything for granted.

+ another amazing thing was when i went to the states for a year when i was 16 years old.
+ Another good experience abroad was my EVS in Belgium. It´s funny how a country i never heard about turned out to be my next home.
