Description
Hi! My name is Marijke, I'm 30 years old and I live in The Netherlands.
At the age of 20 I was diagnosed with cancer (NH Lymphoma). When I survived cancer it made me realize that you shouldn't waste the time you have on this world on something that doesn't make you happy. I'm the happiest while traveling, being surrounded by nature and animals.
I have always loved to travel and meet new like-minded people along the way. I love being outdoors and have a great appreciation for nature and animals. I would describe myself as a reliable and punctual person who is a crazy animal lover. I also like to be creative, I studied graphic design and worked in marketing.
