About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life's short, Live your dream!

ABOUT ME

i'm a creative girl, who loves to travel. See the world. I like concerts, festivals, music! Art house movies! food, (like everybody of course), wine! Jogging, going out, travel, travel travel!
Currently when traveling i miss cheese and drop (dutch candy).
i'm addicted to traveling, 3 years ago me and my boyfriend started a 7 months journey in south east asia, and when we came back home, we wanted to go again. So now we are traveling again!! We started christmas day 2009 and still are traveling. I feel very lucky to be exploring the big world.
Cool thing about CS is what other people inspire and do, and what moves them, interesting to know! i love meeting people through cs!

PHILOSOPHY

- Life's short, Live your dream!

- ou que tu ailles, vas y avec ton coeur

-Il faut peu de choses pour que toute une vie change. L'amour dans le coeur et le sourire aux levres.

-Une sourire ne coute rien et produit beaucoup. Il enrichit ceux qui le recoivent. Il ne dure qu’un instant, mais son souvenir est parfois eternel. Un sourire donne du repos a l’etre fatigue.

-Le seul moyen d'avoir un ami, c'est d'en etre un. (Emerson)
