About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it around the world!

ABOUT ME

Im currently on a trip around the world, trying to take in as much of the world as possible... My goal for this trip is to get to know as many different lifestyles and cultures as possible, meeting cool new people and just having the sickest time ever =)

About myself: I laugh a lot and I enjoy life to the fullest!

PHILOSOPHY

So far I successfully avoided the "real life" -working 9-5 is not my kinda thing... seeing as much of our planet as possible is way further up on my list

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backcountry snowboarding in Whistler... I bought a snowmobile and went Heli-Boarding -- best snow Ive ever ridden!

I was lucky enough to get a ticket for TOMORROWLAND 2012 in Belgium - such an amazing festival, one of the best wkends of my life!

this section can be updated pretty much every day now that Im traveling the world, Im seeing so much cool stuff on this trip... Its easier if I just tell u about it when I meet you :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I fell in love with surfing and Im trying to get better at it - spent a whole month in Costa Rica, surfing pretty much every day... Trying to catch as many waves as possible on this trip :-)
If there's something I can teach u, Im more than happy to try ;-) Besides that I always love to share some funny stories about trips I did/ppl I met/things that happened to me...
