About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seize the day, enjoy life with friends and family, see the world, meet new people!

ABOUT ME

Im a Dutch girl and I studied International Relations in Utrecht. I traveled a lot. I have a twinsister and she joined me on many of my travels. Now I travel mostly with my boyfriend.
Im easy going, impulsive and pretty talkative..I love food, I eat vegetarian.. I love trying new things, foodwise, drinkwise, activitywise, etc..

PHILOSOPHY

I dont know why we are on this earth, but I know that Im trying to enjoy life as much as I can as long as it lasts. Spread positive energy, have fun, do what makes you feel happy.. sounds cheesy, but I truly mean it..
