About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Start the real world in flying colours, aka GET A JOB!

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a student/researcher who works in the development field, my current home base is Utrecht, the Netherlands and I'm usually travelling around doing work for school. I really enjoy learning from people and sharing life lessons and experiences. I'm a bit of an oddity; i love meeting new people but i get really shy the second time around but that hasn't stopped me from making friends.
I love music, music and more music, any kind except for opera and country, its what keeps me going anytime, anywhere. I'm an only child but I have a brother named Ryde, he's 100 lbs and has golden hair.
I'm a big fan of the outdoors; if it were up to me I'd live in a cabin or beach house anywhere in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to enjoy what life brings you and try to go with the flow, its hard sometimes but you just need remind yourself to breathe. Everything in life has a purpose and a reason for its existence so when it rains it pours and then a new day starts and it's all good. Keep focused on what you want and enjoy what comes.
