ABOUT ME

Hello my name is Maartje and i'm from Holland. I try to do the things that gives me a huge smile on my face. I like to be active with sports, like skiing, snowboarding, survival at my outdoor job and to play rugby. I try to avoid being in one place much longer then half a year, think I have Nomad genes in my blood somewhere. I can be really impulsive at times. I love to be outside, to meet people and to be around good friends. I like to laugh and dance, it can be hard to make me go home on a good night out. I'm always looking for new adventures and challenges. The biggest question in my head is which country shall i visit next....

PHILOSOPHY

No plan is the best plan.

don't dream your life, live your dream!
