CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the world behind my own.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Josien, a 20-year-old student journalism. I was born in Amsterdam in 1992, since 2 years I'm living in Utrecht (30 minutes from Amsterdam).
I share my time between studying and working as a journalist. I'm working for three newswebsites and for the University Newspaper as editor-in-chief.
I love to travel around the world. Every year I'm organizing studytrips for 30 students (myself included:)). I've been to South-Korea, Panama, Costa Rica, Thailand, Turkey, Marocco, Hungary, Poland and many more countries (now you probably know why I'm working a lot as well).
In leisure time I love to hang out with friends, drinking beers in the pub or dancing on elektronic music (especially techno).

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose (like Janis Joplin once said)
