    Travelling

  • Description

    I was born and raised on a dairy farm in the Netherlands. I’m the 4th of 6 children. My mum is amazing;) On the farm we have cows, horses, a few goats, dogs, cats and some other pets. I recently graduated as a chiropractor in Wales, UK.

    I've been travelling and visiting friends in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia and did a month of volunteering in the jungle in Indonesia. I loved it there so much, can't wait to tell you all about it!

    I love the outdoors, adventure, simple living, nature, reading and playing the piano. I also love learning in general. From studying physics, philosophy to growing a vegetable garden, I’m down!

    I love Jesus and am constantly learning how to be more like him. My goals for travelling are to learn more about God, more about myself and others and being able to help out other people. I can't wait to learn more about different cultures and gain some wisdom before starting my job as a chiropractor.

    Fruits, flowers and water bring me happiness and I'll take any opportunity to go for a swim.
