About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun and exlpore the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing girl who loves to travel. Before I started University I took and GAP-year traveling to Ghana, Thailand, Lao, Cambodja and Vietnam.
After I came back I started to study Business Administration at the Rotterdam School of Management. During my first year of University I went to Kenya for a development project. Unfortunatly I got sick the second day and ended up in the hospital :( I have been both to Sydney and Budapest as an exchange student.

For the last three years I have been traveling and diving (I am a PADI dive instructor) through Asia (Thailand, India, China, Mongolia, Malaysia and Indonesia). At the moment I am staying at my parents place in the Netherlands looking for some new opportunities again.

Development, diving and traveling are my passions and I hope I can find a job to combine these.

PHILOSOPHY

Do the most you can, see a lot of the world, meet different people of different cultures and be dedicated to your friends.
