About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Giving people a smile on their faces

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, seeing new places, going on adventures and trying new things... this site seems pretty awesome to me! I grew up in Zwolle, a small city in the Netherlands. I've travelled a bit, but have many more places to visit! I'd like to do all the things I'm able to do, that's why I'm always busy and keeping smiling!

PHILOSOPHY

Take life at it comes. Everything happens for a reason. We find things out and go through experiences every day to teach us a lesson on how to improve life for tomorrow.

You will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. - Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A lot of things I experience everyday are amazing in their own way! I've met some very special and interesting people in my life, I think that's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you're brave enough to leave everything behind that feels familiar and comforting, which can be anything, from your house to bittiral resentments. And set out to a truth seeking journey either externly or interly. And if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that trip as a glue. And if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher. And if you are prepared most of all to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself. Then the truth will not be held from you."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will bring some dutch snacks :D
