Choices. I’ve been doing something for the past few months that I wouldn’t even accept as an option about a year ago. And that is saying no. Saying no to jobs that doesn’t seem to be worth it or doesn’t make me smile. I only want to be working on stuff that gives me energy. Before I would always say yes to a new opportunity. But I came to a point over the last few months that I realise that the new opportunities need to be in alignment with what I want to be doing or what makes me feel energised. This change from perspective is so empowering! I feel happier and even seem to be attracting more jobs that I do enjoy. I bet that has something to do with creating space in order to be able to receive again. But I want to take it a step further now. With every decision that I make, I want to tune into my body and notice how that decision makes me feel. Listening to your gut is the best way to make a choice. Sometimes I need to remind myself of that. Do you listen to your gut enough? : @maike_descher

Just got back from Austria. Good people, good snow and beautiful views pretty much sums up this amazing week. Even though I couldn’t snowboard everyday because of my shitty knee, I had a wonderful time. Thanks to everyone who was part of the trip!

March was crazy. I interviewed 65 people, drove 1800km for this project and made a total of 23 video’s about inspiring students. All by myself, in just one month. It was hectic and so much fun. I’m only now just starting to process everything. I met so many inspiring people in such a short amount of time and I’m feeling very grateful. The videos were shown in front of hundreds of people last week and I received a lot of positive comments. I’m so glad they put a smile on people their faces. It was a big project and I’m relieved to say this: It’s a wrap!

Germany surprised me. In a good way. I loved the typical German houses, the peaceful landscape, the wildlife (we saw wild boar, raccoons and deer) and the friendly people! I'm excited to head back there in a few weeks!

I now realize how much I missed the mountains. They have been calling me for the past year but I didn’t listen. Too ‘’busy’’ doing ‘’responsible’’ stuff. I wish the Netherlands had mountains but since they don’t, it is my intention to go on trips more often from now on! What do you love the most? The beach, rivers, mountains or forests?

It's finally getting warmer in the Netherlands. I love spring. There are colorful flowers everywhere, birds singing songs and everyone is happier. It's so funny talking to my friend @jostephanxx from Australia telling her that it's 20 degrees outside and everyone is wearing shorts and t-shirts. For her, 20 degrees is cold! It's all about perspective and what you are used to I guess. I remember almost dying when it was 40 degrees outside during our time we lived in Ozzy and she doesn't mind it. So funny!
