CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

SO hi :) I'm Kirsten.
I'm 22 years old and I currently live in Belgium. I'm originally from the Netherlands but moved here for a year to complete my master's degree in journalism. I love to travel and this august I'm going to travel Europe.
My main travel objectives are visiting every single state of the United States (I have a fascination for that country, its people, history and culture) and I want to see the entire world. And of course I hope I can combine this with my journalism master (:

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in hard work but also in enjoying life.
two of my favourite works of literature are Emerson's self reliance and Franklin's autobiography. One tells you to work hard and the other tells you to be self-reliant and not to become a slave of your job. I believe in a balance.
