Its difficult to even put into words how crazy the past months and weeks have been. Going from being offered my new job all the way in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to my 7-week preparation in Germany, to getting my drivers license within 4 weeks, to Skiing trips in Mont Genevre, a quick trip to Stockholm and arranging the big move. Now that I have arrived in Addis and look back, I don’t even know how I managed all of it (let me tell you, it was stressful!) Luckily, I have the best friends and family in the world who supported and helped me with everything. I will miss everyone so much but I will welcome everyone here in my new home 🤗 This new step is scary and exciting and I cannot wait to see what it has in store for me! 💪☺️

Such an incredible way to end 2019! The past year has been very interesting, teaching me important lessons and shaping my future. I’m extremely excited to get to start 2020 with my new job for which I’ll move to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in February ☺️ #2020 #skiing #montgenevre

Sunsets in The Hague 😍 Enjoying the last few days in The Hague before I’m in housing limbo again. 🙈 Hopefully I’ll find something soon, no matter where in the world 🌍 #Gymnast #Sunset #TheHague #Netherlands #theworldismyoyster #sun #beach #strand #cartwheel #aerial #gymnastics #acrobat #Turnen #zonsondergang

“Talent to Fly” read my latest article via the link in my bio. “Education needs to adapt to its context, offer alternatives if having knowledge of theory is not enough to get a job. Education all over the world should have greater emphasis on creativity, sports and arts to help individuals develop crucial life skills." #education #knowledge #internationaldevelopment #lifeskills #fly #talent #acrobats #twistingthoughts #website #article #writing #development #sports #arts #creativity #context #airplane #training #skills #employment #performance

Such a lovely weekend discovering Lyon with my family ☺️❤️ #Lyon #France #holidays #view #family #happiness #sun
