Grew up in Maastricht and now live in Utrecht, Netherlands. Ive studied social work and nursing while i took every chance i had to travel around. After one year of working as a nurse, i felt the need to travel again since im not ready to fully commit to a job yet. So i took my bike and started cycling to Portugal. No plan for how long i would stay or what my next stop would be. Along the way ive met my now partner in Spain. Chose to go back to Spain and live and work with him. But after ca 10 months i felt the need to work again as a nurse, i job i have much love and passion for. So since July 2024 im back in Utrecht and working as a nurse again.
My partner will move to the NL in aug.

Til then im trying to leave Utrecht every 2 weeks to go around by bike and mini trips away. Im very active at the community houses in Utrecht, do crossfit and runs two times a week and swim every fridaymorning.
Once the skateseason has started im unstoppable on my inline skates. When i have the chance i love to go to poetry nights, theaters and lectures. No matter what kind of passion you have, i already find you interesting when you have one. I can always learn something from somebody else.

I like to share and open up quickly. Im not into materials, but more into experiences. So whenever we meet up, i like to discover new places, new food or new things together.
