About Me

Young doctor, age 30, travelling the world with curiosity and living the moment! :-)

My actual mission: taking my last possibility on a working holiday in Australia to get to know myself even better.

Inspired by John Strelecky my personal purpose of existence is:

Living my curiosity and be brave to avoid the feeling of missing out!
Learning, living and loving :-)
Putting myself in the position of an old woman at the end of her life, looking back at her life, what would I like to have experienced? Are there things I'm regretting not to have done in my life? When you do this now you recognize that you mostly regret things you did not do, instead of the things you actually did!

Personal tasks in life I'm working on right now:

1. Discover the spiritual side in me, work on mindfulness, meditation (did a 10 day vipassana) yoga with the goal to calm down extreme undulations in emotions and learn to enjoy the present moment even more :-)

2. Living a minimalist life, close to nature and enjoy the freedom that this brings along!

3. Establish more love, compassion and goodwill for others.

4. Learning to enjoy my money more!
Coming from a family where saving was most important I am on my way to learn to allow myself a bit more 😉

Near future dream:
To convert a camper van by myself and to build a tiny house on wheels to live in! In a few years this should be my accommodation for friends, family and couchsurfers from all over the world!

Right now I am in Australia, I won't be able to host anyone in the following year.
