About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Cycling in Holland

ABOUT ME

A few years ago I traveled from London by train (and ferry) through Europe to Russia and then on the transsiberian express with some stops on the way in Russia, Mongolia and China. Ending up in India for a couple of months. Here is where I had my Couchsurfing experience and loved it! I am so grateful to the generous and kind people that met and hosted me!

After my experience I decided to study anthropology, and after working for a few years as an occupational therapist I managed to work part-time and pursue my next dream...
I enjoy life as much as possible, love people and music the most, and very easy to hangout with.
And I find describing myself as one of the most difficult things to do, because often I am one big contradiction. I think my friends would say that I am thoughtful and funny.
I love cycling around London, and recently cycled in England between the west and east coast. It was so beautiful!

PHILOSOPHY

Every day is a good day

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone who can make me finally understand quantum physics, knows about history, architecture, art, geography, and all the other things I am really interested in, but too lazy to read about.
I am happy to cook some vegetarian food and am a pretty good listener!
