CURRENT MISSION

discover the world, and find out where I belong in it

ABOUT ME

Hello I am Anne :) I'm a bit shy, often need some time to get comfortable but once I am I can talk a lot and be kind of crazy. I love to meet new people, find out who they are and why they do the things they do.

I moved to Groningen in 2012 but I still don't feel like I know the city very well.. although I do like living here, it's a fun city. The city I know best is Nijmegen and the city that I miss the most is Helsinki.

PHILOSOPHY

You either lose your fear
or spend your life
with one foot in the grave
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7232rFHi9g)

Not always succeeding at the whole 'losing your fear' part, though. But I try. ^^
