CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life to the fullest and trying to let other people enjoy life as much as well.

ABOUT ME

I'm a medical student from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Enjoying life to the fullest is what I am always trying to do and is what I love doing most!

Although this resulted in some delay of study, I think it was / is it totally worth. After high school I first travelled to Ghana (with a short trip to Burkina Faso and Mali) for 5 months and after that I did the Trans Mongolian Expres, ending up in Hong Kong.

After this travelling, I have studied for air traffic controller at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for half a year, after which I went back to Ghana to set up eco-tourism guesthouse "Green House Ghana".

In september 2009 I finally started studying "Medicine", which I am still busy with. Next to the study, I am an member of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA), for which I have been travelling quite a lot as well (for example, to join international meetings).

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life in all possible ways, as long as you don't harm anyone else.
