CURRENT MISSION

Creating some balance, optimism, love and creativity in this world

ABOUT ME

To describe myselve? I bring in lots of energy and a laid-back attitude at the same time. I do have my worries about my life and the world, but always try to stand on the shiny side.

Since I am seventeen, and standing on my own bare feet, my life is continually changing. I moved in en out more than I can count on my hands, did lots of studies, practices and had even so many jobs. In the variation from theatre producer too social worker in a high secure mental institute. Nowadays I have a lovely job as social worker in a living community for psychiatric clients.

I left my heart in Berlin, where I used to live. But besides Berlin, I love travelling through the world, and, I am quite spontaneous when it comes too that.

What I do in the time between coming and leaving? December this year, me and my boyfriend Otto grew back together, and, as a big and beautiful surprise, I got pregnant.

We are living together in Utrecht again, waiting for the great new wonder, we will receive in september.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the power of love. Besides that, my basic values are quite humanistic. I believe in people. In their goodness and their responsibility. But, I had some spiritual experiences too, so I can't deny, that there's something more....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a wonderful system. I hosted and surfed a lot, since 3 years or so. My berlin appartment was something like a couchsurfing heaven, and I met Otto through couchsurfing... Both quite dedicated to CS, we even hosted the Dutch Lessons in Utrecht.

Soon, we will discover how it will be to surf and host as a family.

My most favourite writer is Etty Hillesum. She was a Dutch Jewish young women, who didn't survived the second world war. Her diary and letters where found and published in the book: Etty Hillesum, an interrupted life (in Dutch: Het verstoorde leven van Etty Hillesum).
I never learned, laughed and cried more than reading this book. She wrote something that feels like a bible to me.
