About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I am on a mission to learn about permaculture and more sustainable way of living. Also starting a part-time PhD with my work and Wageningen university. So that is probably my biggest mission for the next few years.

ABOUT ME

I am an entomologist traveling the world with my work. I love to discover countries and their culture. I have been working abroad since the last 7 years already and I've hosted many couchsurfers in Canada, Nicaragua, Honduras and UK. Now I have moved to the Netherlands to start my PhD and continue working in International development and research.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes the best medicine is going somewhere you have never been before-Owen Steel et al.
