About Me

Hello :) Iโ€™m a collection of paradoxes. I love dancing at festivals as much as talking about how to dismantle capitalism. I do a lot of crafts and DIYโ€™s but I also love to go crazy at parties and be among people. I read a lot but can be very silly and comic at the same time. You canโ€™t guess my character just by looking at something that I did! But what matters the most to me, is to be a good human. And that I strive to be at all times.

The Netherlands are super safe and the majority of people speak English, so I was able to get directions if needed. Plus their public transport is amazing, it's so easy to get from city to city!

Solo travel experience

Itinerary: Amsterdam (5 nights) with a day trip to Haarlem and The Hague Antwerp (3 nights) with a day trip to Ghent Utrecht (3 nights) with a day trip to Rotterdam Safety: I felt very safe there. Recommendations: Train travel within the Netherlands is fantastically easy. Pick up an OV-chipkaart when you arrive, load it with euros,and you can catch a train to nearly everywhere.
