About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My only mission on this planet is to enjoy life as much as possible and find new ways of doing so.

ABOUT ME

I left Belgium last year and together with my boyfriend we sailed as boat hitcher from the Carabbean, through the Panama canal, all the way to New Zealand in the South Pacific (we visited Galapagos, Marquesas, Tuamotos, Tahiti,...). I love stories and enjoy telling them myself and listening to other people telling stories. I like to break routine and do something unexpected. I like to travel any way the wind blows, I love diving, sailing, hiking, climbing, dancing, reading, writing, driving, cinema, dogs, sleeping outdoors, lightning and moonbathing.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy is a work in progress, it changes every full moon. I'm no reliable prophetess.
