Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live here and now. Make the most out of the present, take each day at a time, enjoy the journey, grow like a tree, deep in the ground and towards the sky, inwards and outwards, with the intention to one day bloom and "make fruit" - give my gifts to the world.
ABOUT ME
In 2011 I let go of the 9 to 5 life in search for freedom and meaning. I've been volunteering and working freelance ever sice, travelling, learning, discovering the world and myself.
I currently (mostly) live in beautiful Amsterdam. I'm most interested in humanity, in what it is that makes us human, in remembering what we have forgotten. I believe that we can live in harmony with ourselves, with each other and with all the other beings on this planet, all the other 'earthlings'. I love to learn/get to know about ways that get us closer to that, like permaculture, community building, ecovillages, yoga, meditation, free hugs, collaborative grass-roots, bottom-up initiatives, etc.
I like meeting new, interesting, open minded people and sparking ideas with them.
And I smile. A lot :)
PHILOSOPHY
Be true to yourself and follow your gut feeling.
"Free", "simple" and "natural" are my guidelines.
