house tutoring 2: The world will never be the same again
Why will the world never be the same again? There are events in history and in our own lives that turn everything upside down. And from then on we only know one before and one after. I personally know these events as the turning points of Saturn and we happen to be in the middle of such a planetary transition right now. It will come as no surprise to anyone that after this corona virus, the world will never be the same again. We are collectively forced to change and collectively forced to change our standards & rethink values. We are collectively forced to make different choices, for us but especially for the people around us. These changes…

Travel lesson 18: A Post-Travel Depression is real!
It's December 2018 When my feet finally hit Dutch soil. The return flight from Asia to Europe was safe and comfortable. I am home again. Coming home this time felt completely different. It was the end of my greatest adventure. It was the end of my world tour that began in 2015. Coming home will be a difficult transition, other travelers had warned me. They talked about a Post-Travel Depression , something I could barely imagine as I follow my heart's ardent desire. I wanted nothing more than to see my family, meet up with friends and wander through the streets of the famous cities that still smell like mine…

What can you learn if you are traveling long?
“Of all the books in the world the best lessons are found between the pages of my passport” What life lessons do you receive after a long journey? From the moment our heart says hello to the world, our learning path begins, we start to develop personally. The personal development path is not straight or smooth as most people think. The trail which travelers make is full of bumps, potholes, sharp edges, unknown roads and dangers. That makes learning intense and unique to each traveler. Past two years I have walked this path and it has taught me life lessons that I find worth spreading. Why? Because…

Travel lesson 13: Booming
The director of the organization where I worked previously, wrote in his farewell letter to me : “Diana loves heights” and in fact is not true. My obssesie of heights by beaten to spotting one of the most beautiful animals on earth: vogels. Ik kan uren lang en met veel plezier naar ze kijken en elke beweging die ze maken vastleggen. I became a bird papparazzi ;). Obssesie or not, observing these special animals not provide me only beautiful pictures, maar ook veel reflectiemomenten. Als ik bewust naar het gedrag van vogels kijk, zie ik dat zij veel overeenkomsten hebben met ons en…

I am glad that you exist and that you are the risks of our house, limiting our car and our holiday. But whether you can reduce the risks of life, daar…

Since I started this travel around the world seems like I started a search for the hidden Pandora is hiding behind my fear. I am more than ever go see my limits and they are going to push. A scientific explanation for this I have not, it's just a natural need to extract everything that is in my life.

Travel lesson 4: Slow down you can learn
tolerate, I thought it was something for later, when I let pass my eventful life in review from the couch of the retirement home, and not for now. Now it was time for action, for racing, fly and jump. Ik vond dat de wereld in een hoog tempo functioneerde en dat ik me daaraan moest aanpassen om de boel een beetje bij te kunnen benen. Hoe sneller hoe beter was mijn motto. Snel denken, snel eten, snel handelen, snel en nog eens snel. Het voelde heerlijk om in de race te zijn en als een Speedy Gonzales alles te willen doen. Ik heb nooit in een raceauto gereden, maar…

What else do I want?…
