Hello, nice to mee you! From September 2017 until October 2018 I took time off to travel the world. To discover new cultures, learn new skills and meet new people.

I like travelling without a strict plan or bucketlist. Started in China, on the moment in Australia and continue my trip to New Zealand in January. Furthermore... we will see.

In Holland I have a clinical job as a neuropsychologist, helping people and their families to cope with aquired brain damage.

In my spare time I like visiting musea (I prefer modern art) and theatre, reading books, go for hiking, diner with friends and family and watching documentairies and series on Netflix. I have my advanced diving license, which I only use abroad because the water in Holland is dark & cold.

Im looking forward to meet you in real life!
Because I just started to use this platform, I invite you to take a look on my Facebook and Instagram page, to get a better picture of me.
You can find me on: Dorinevdstarre
