About Me

Hi there! My name is Ilona, a 37 years old Social worker from Holland. At this moment I took a sabbatical for some months to fully connect with myself and follow my intuition. What really makes me happy is to be surrounded by positive and genuine people :) I am a grateful person for what the universe gives me day by day. I am a very curious and dynamic spirit. The challenges attract me and put me to the test, to enjoy this continuous learning that is life. I feel the need to challenge myself with new activities, learn and discover new abilities and get to know new places and cultures. I strongly believe that difference (in all its shades: cultural, generational, educational, environmental etc.) is source of enrichment and this is why I try to learn from every situation and person around me and I love diving in new adventures. At the same time I am openminded, discrete and easy-going which helps a lot in going along with people and let them be free to be open and truly themselves.
