  • Description

    Hello there fellow explorers!

    Based in the Netherlands, living in a vacation house, and soon taking 6 weeks of unpaid holidays I plan to dive into the deep unknown, this magnificent journey called life!

    I love travelling with a goal; doing something useful, helping others and meeting up with all sorts of people. Sharing ideas, creativity and adventures :)

    I am a social, open and positive being. Love to be around crazy human beings, and now and then I can turn into a goofball myself.

    To live is to wonder, and that is exactly what I am planning to do!

    My goal is to learn about permaculture, by doing. To find inspiration to start a similar project myself. And I try to be better everyday; using less waist, live a simple life, be more in balance with nature. I am looking for alternative ways, out of the ordinary. Searching for likeminded people that believe in creating a sustainable future, together.

    Furthermore I am a ceramicist, in my graduation year. With a focus on thin porcelain vessels, hand building. I love to share knowledge and learn more about ceramics. It is my biggest passion and there is so much yet to discover.
