CURRENT MISSION

Do the unpredictable

ABOUT ME

Working at the European Commission in Brussels. Studied philosophy and political science in Leiden, Berlin and St Andrews (Scotland). Keep having urges to travel because I want to experience new environments to gain fresh thoughts and energy. One of my favourite things was volunteering in Uganda.

PHILOSOPHY

Progressive social liberalism (politically)
Living a diverse and full life for its own sake, and to develop ideas for a greater whole (personally)
