About Me

I was born in the States in downeast Maine where we lived very remote and very simple. It really was just us, and nature. After a few years we moved to Scotland for my mothers work. I loved it there but again we had to move and we moved to the Netherlands , where I grew up. After years of studying, working and living in different cities I’ve decided to follow my biggest dream. Travel the world. I want to live and travel as sustainable as possible and want to help the earth in any way that I can. What I’m really searching for is being connected to nature and people and learning new (practical) skills. I love to dance, cook, practice yoga and being physically active. I guess you could say I’m a very positive, enthusiastic and active person. Bursting with creativity and love to spread!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done.. kind of hard to say about yourself but traveling it’s self has always been an absolutely amazing thing! From walking the Camino de Santiago (890 KM from France through Spain) to backpacking through Sri Lanka, hanging out of one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. To traveling around the east-coast of Canada and meeting the friendliest people in the world. Such a small glimpse into the past few years but all was pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing a conversation over a beer and guacamole, walking through a forest or sitting some place with a good view ;)

I also love to experiment in the kitchen while cooking and baking.
