Short for a dutch girl, also strangely (alarmingly) pale and passionately (when needed) sarcastic

Interests

Everything creative and exciting. I like going to museums even if nobody wants to come with me (even better so I can take my time). My favorite painting hangs in the Rijksmuseum, it's by Verspronck. I can tell you all about it if you like. I also like watching films directed/produced by Tim Burton or photography from Tim Walker. Strange and pretty things are fascinating. Hmm what else do I enjoy.. Shopping (like a total girl), running/hiking, festivals, popcorn and petting soft animals.

Music, Movies, and Books

I looooove reading soooo much it's embarrassing.. I read everything from novels and thrillers to populair dystopian book series and poems from E E Cummings or John Keats. I am currently reading Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. It's really weird but I like it. I'm also a movie-enthusiast, but aren't most people? If you want to judge me on my music taste let's hear what you think of John Mayer, Yuna, The Kooks, Andrew Belle or Foster the People ... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've visited Hong Kong and went to the big buddha (Tian Tan) on Lantau Island. It was absolutely amazing even though I'm not a buddhist I felt so serene and peaceful. The hiking there around the island was the most (relaxing) fun I've ever had. It's the best thing I've ever done and I definitely want to revisit.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mahatma Ghandi's quotes are a great inspiration :) My favorite one is 'My life is my message'. It inspires me to be a good person and to stop and look at the big picture.
