About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live day by day, follow my intuition, not to worry and be happy instead. :)

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, see the world, find amazing places, beautiful nature, interesting cities and meet amazing people. I work in a school in an inclusive class and love my job. I'm always seeking new impressions. I love hanging out with friends, laughing, having fun, or talking for hours over beer, wine, tea or coffee. Little moments at first glance that turn out to be the most memorable one's. I'm passionate about music and enjoy good concerts. I love those nights when I lose sleep over listening to music. I'm kinda obsessed with water and could spend hours at the sea, a lake, river, ... I have a soft spot for contrasts. And I love to find the beauty in everyday things.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not?

When nothing goes right, go left.
(Yes, it's as simple as that.)
