About Me

ABOUT ME

In love with Amsterdam all over again, so happy to be back after my Italian adventure. For the first time in my life feeling the urge to put down roots. Love cycling round this city at night, lights dancing on the water.

PHILOSOPHY

follow your heart but don't lose your head, balance is important but I love extremes occasionally too, be silly and giggle a lot, don't take it all too seriously (reminder to self) Connection.....
