ABOUT ME I love doing new things, getting to know new people and exploring new places. Help me to rid myself of stereotypes about the country you are from! :) Facts about me: Studied history I work for the Dutch government and I write about International Business. I'm active in (grassroots) politics to make the world a little bit better. Sometimes I imagine myself an opera singer so be warned.

My Interests
I want to know everything so I love random facts I'm a cycling fan, watching the sport and riding myself... if the weather's ok. Always up for karaoke. Hitchhiking, a little less than before but I still love it. so many friendly and interesting people. It took me to amazing places, like the Norwegian fjords, Dubrovnik (King's Landing) and Nizhny Novgorod.
