About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling and meeting other people from different countries changes you like nothing else. Really what do one has to loose? Trying out new things is my greatest interest and hobby. Being among simple people who has the courage to do what they want to do.

ABOUT ME

I am 24 years old and I enjoy meeting with new people. I started studying medicin 3.5 years ago because someone told me it's a great job if you like traveling. Medical doctors are needed everywhere. And where I feel like going that's where I'll go. I don't always have a plan when traveling but I always have a goal; to meet up with local people and learn from them. We grow up thinking the world works in a certain way, then we learn there are different ways. People really are so interesting! How they choose to live their lives and why.

My dream is to work with doctors without borders. And I want to write people's stories down. About what they've experienced in life, what they are passionated about and why. To celebrate what is right in the world.

I fall in love with things very easily and usually when people come up with suggestions on adventures and things to do, I say "okay, lets do it!" I am an optimist but I don't wish for things, I work for it. People who live their passions really inspire me and I've promised myself never to put limits on things I do in life!

PHILOSOPHY

Celebrate what is right with the world.
