ABOUT ME

Im a 25 year old Asthanga yoga teacher and Development Studies student from Leiden, The Netherlands. I love to travel, its my great passion. Especially India, therefore Im moving to Mumbai from September 2018 unwards.

I am a free spirit, currently in on of the most important stages of my life. I have come Asia many times to find my aim of life. I have been studying different religions and languages to try to understand the level over spirituality which is present here.. And the spirituality which is, how I look at it, lacking in my own country.

PHILOSOPHY
I travel, I explore and get out of my comfort zone. I will always be open to any person or any experience, because we all can learn from each other!
