Right now I'm backpacking through Mexico! Belize and Guatemala next.

I'm a 26 y/o Dutchie on her first solo adventure.
I love nature, animals, going on adventures, exploring new places, but also staying in for reading or watching a movie or series.
I love to go on hikes, learning new things. Currently trying to learn Spanish.
I like working out such as running, walking, hiking, doing yoga and speed cycling.
I love to eat (new dishes from different countries). Definitely a sweet tooth over here.
I'm into meditation (zen buddhism), but also want to do a vipassana retreat here in Mexico if I get the chance!
Currently investigating if I should take stoicism as my life philosophy.
Introverted person looking for an extrovert to adopt her. :P
(Non-smoker, almost non-drinker, and flexitarian = semi-vegetarian).
