About Me

Calm, considerate, open minded

I quit my old life (job, apartment, etc.), sold everything I had, took my backpack and left four years ago to find out more about the world and myself, I was traveling / living abroad and I had no plans to go back.

Eventually I came back and now I am student (sustainable development) again, following my heart and wondering where it leads me to.
