  • Description

    My dream is to find my path, whatever that may be and feel content with it. At the same time its my dream to be able to help others with something in their lives. I'm still trying to figure out how and with what, but I've experienced I'm very good at motivating, coaching, helping people talk/open up about their emotions, help people discover things about them selves and help them to change certain negative behavior patterns.

    Next to this I love to discover lots of different adventurous sports, like climbing, white water kayakking, windsurfing, (kick/thai) boksing, pole sports and I'm most passionate about dancing (salsa, bachata & kizomba) and singing (I also love karaoke). Although I'm still scared to perform infront of an audience, its my dream to be able to play guitar & the ukelele, write my own songs and perform them on the streets and in bars. I would also love to work with sound bowls and a handpan (I have them back home, just like the guitar & ukelele). Bring people joy and understanding for their emotions. Make people feel like they are never alone.

    I love to be in the nature. Specially hiking though mountainous and rough areas. I love to travel, meet new people, cultures and have learning experiences. I want to break out of the "normal" and go for the weird/unlikely/change agent. I might not be able to help the whole world but I'd love to help at least some people/animals in it. I want to discover the world and experience lesser known places, cultures, etc. I don't want to be inside of a box. I want to be myself, be okay with who I am and with all the different aspects of different "stereotypes/boxes". People have recently been telling me/feeling that I might be a healer. I want to learn more about this.

    Moreover I would love to get connected to different holystic practices and learn about alternative healing methods. Such as: (energetic) healing, medicinal plants/making tea with them, animal/nature communications, creative/music/animal/adventure theraphy.

    I love animals and I am eager to learn about more ways to really connect to them!

    Other things that bring me joy are music festivals and going to concerts. My favorite music styles are poppunk, (pop/hard)rock, indie, country, 80s and drumm & base.
