About Me

ABOUT ME

I consider myself something of a world citizen. Born in The Netherlands, I spend a lot of time in Argentina where I started an NGO working in the slums of Rosario. I love to travel and share experiences with people who have something to say. I enjoy hanging around with those who are not afraid to follow their passion and share their knowledge and stories with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey, not a destination.
