CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, meeting great people, seeing beautiful things

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Marie. What makes me dream: cumulonimbus clouds, starry skies and the afternoon moon. I love art: Frieseke, Tarbell, Vermeer, Alfred Stevens and... Van Gogh (if you look closely at his paintings you can see the wind go through it).
I appreciate "real" experiences over comfortable/luxurious experiences: like sleeping in a tent eventhough it's freezing just to capture the aurora borealis... over a comfortable hotelroom-view of the city.
I love nature and my goal is to show people how to love and take care of Nature.
I am a positive, spontaneous person, always looking for a new challenge in life. My goal is to discover as many places I can and meet great people on my way.
I also believe in a Heaven --> one here on Earth, that is. One we can create for others, by being the best we can possibly be.

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to treat people as you want to be treated yourself, live while you live and (try to) respect yourself and the earth you tread on at all times!
