About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to experience life intensively, to have a lot of fun with people, to learn about intercultural communication, to learn from different cultures and habits, to find a place to stay :)

ABOUT ME

studied marketing for 3 years, went of to brazil to study portugees, traveled around in bolivia and peru, worked in a 'crêperie' in Paris, currently working as an international relations officer for exchange students, like to laugh, like to make fun, somethimes a bit silly, like my friends, like art, like music, like acroyoga very very very much, like meeting new people from everywhere, like to help, like going crazy, like learning new experiences and insights, curious about life

PHILOSOPHY

Feel the fear and do it anyway. I really want to learn a lot in life, I don't think you can ever have 'enough' life-expercience.
my grandmother once said "don't complain, but bear and ask for strength" :o) In my language it's a little rhyme.
