Lately, I often think about my future, my goals; which destination my own compass will lead me to. It is nice to see it like that, isn’t it? Your life as a compass: working towards something, with the ability to take different routes that will lead you eventually to this same destination.

I would love to work in the sustainable tourism sector, allowing people to keep experiencing this beautiful world we live in, only without harming it at the same time. Along with this, I would love to build a little homestead somewhere in the North, growing herbs, living close to nature, having goats, some chickens, maybe even a small donkey. I would love to create a place where my family and friends can come visit, where I can introduce them to this holistic lifestyle, and where we can make beautiful memories together. A place where I will be greeted by the warm sun rising above the many trees every single morning, and where I will appreciate this every day. At some point, I would love to start a youtube channel, capturing this journey. Then I can take you with me, create a little community, share my knowledge about a (more) sustainable lifestyle, and, together with you, rediscover the deep human-nature connections that many have lost in this busy, modern society.

Maybe I am a dreamer. However, I find a lot of comfort in dreaming. I am not sure how I will get there. But I have the feeling that I am taking small steps every day that bring me a little bit closer. And, until I’m there,I will enjoy the ride with a big smile and a thankful heart.
