One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled the whole Thai west coast and part of the Malaysian coast with my uncle and his sailing yacht.

Pursued my dream and left for Italy to life there for a while to learn the Italian language, cuisine, and taste their culture. Without knowing anybody there or where I would stay.

Spend about 1,5 years of the last 4 working in the Caribbean on Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba.
