Hi! I'm Mireille, but you can also call me Mira. I'm a bubbly, curious, caring and social person. Currently I'm studying behavioral change interventions, so I'm quite busy with that. However, I'm sure I can make time to meet new people!

In my free time I enjoy being in nature, playing board- and cardgames, going out for drinks or a dance and having meaningful conversations, I'm also a big fan of goofing around. I'm very interested to hear about anything that you feel passionate about. I love to be on the road, seeing new places and experiencing life around there. I enjoy the unconventional and I wish for everybody to feel free to express themselves. I love to experience new things and I'm always up for an adventure :)

PHILOSOPHY

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of whatever you really love. It will not lead you astray.

Interests

I love food and I can talk about my passion for food forever! I spend a lot of time cooking vegetarian food and trying new dishes. I also love red wine, craft beers, liquors, coffee and (herbal) tea.
I'm enjoy listening to music (sound and lyrics), practising and teaching yoga, dancing, swimming, trying out different sports, reading, learning, psychology, sociology, philosophy, history, religious studies and anthropology. I enjoy spending time on wikipedia, and please tell me everything about anything you find fascinating :)
I'm learning to play the guitar and recently I'm getting more into poetry.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music has always been a big part of my life. Some genres I really like are latin-jazz, jazz, reggae, salsa, rock, metal, hiphop, house, trance and anything psychedelic/experimental. If you ask me for some great artists I would probably name air, st. germain, faithless, dub fx, room eleven, spinvis, eefje de visser, red hot chili peppers, dire straits, system of a down, bonobo and fela kuti. I also like (non-English) singer-songwriter music. I'm always interested in listening to some new music, so hit me up

I usually watch sitcoms or documentaries, but movie recommendations are always welcome! My all time favourite sitcom is Scrubs, and one of the best movies I've seen is Lock, stock and two smoking barrels (mainly because the music is just great).

Nowadays most of the books I'm reading are related to my studies.
Some books that I would recommend are:
Where good ideas come from: the natural history of innovation by Steven Johnson;
The discovery of society by R. Collins and M. Makowsky;
Being there: learning to live cross-culturally by Sarah S. Davis and Melvin Konner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking in Ladakh, North India

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to talk about our perspectives on life, widen each others worldviews and find what connects us. Also, I'm new in Nijmegen so it would be cool to explore together :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a vegetarian dish for you and give you a yoga class. I can probably also share some general knowledge of nothing in particular with you, let's talk and see ;)
