Day Two

Nine places you want to visit

Chengdu - I have always wanted to go here to volunteer at the Giant Panda Center. That's something that's on top of my bucketlist.
Myanmar/Birma - This is a country that is been going through some major changes and I would love to go here to see what it is like. The country has only just been 'opened' for tourists, or at least, it's easier now for travellers to enter the country. Which doesn't mean it's easy..
North-Korea - Don't ask me why. I don't even know exactly why I want to go here, but I want to. There's something about this place that attracts me. Maybe it's because this country is different from all the others. They've still got a pretty big communism-deal going on and I'm just interested to see what that is like for a country. But it's so so so expensive to go there..
Africa - I don't have one particular place in Africa I would like to see. It has always been a dream for me to go to multiple places when I go there. I would love to go to Kenya, Uganda, South-Africa, Ethiopia, Namibia, Madagascar, Tanzania, Malawi and maybe even more. It's not always safe to go places in Africa and I would never go somewhere if it was too dangerous, but sometimes you have to take a little risk to get the most out of it. Hopefully I can go to some of these places during my study!
Hong Kong - Something about this city attracts me. I'm going here one day, no doubt about it.
Rio de Janeiro - This is for obvious reasons of course. One of my best friends lives in this city and next to that, it's also a great city. I've been here already this year (6th-16th of January) but I am definitely going back, hopefully sooner than later!
Paris - One of the big advantages of living in Europe is that big, famous cities are never that far away. Paris is one of my favourite cities and it's fairly close. I've been here so many times already and I will be going there many times more. It really is a beautiful city. It has class, style, history and just brings out the best in you. Just think of a warm summer evening, walking along the Seine, looking at all the Parisians living their normal lives, after having a great dinner earlier that evening. A person can't get much happier at that moment. Only a three-hour trainride away from my home, it's easy like that!
Zoutelande - This is a small beachtown in the southwest of Holland, very close to Belgium. My dad's family used to go here all the time when he was younger and we sort of took over that tradition. There not really much to do there other than walk along the beach and just take it the fresh air. That's what I love about this place. When you're there, you just get calm. It's all peace and quiet when you're there, it feels like time slows down. A brilliant way of getting away from your daily life for a little bit.
Ameland - This is one of the islands in the north of Holland. I like this place for the exact same reasons as Zoutelande. Only this place was a family tradition of my mom's family. I can't wait to go there again.

Day One

Ten adjectives to descrive yourself

Caring - I try to take care of my loved ones. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard. But if someone needs caring, I will try my best to be there for that person in the best way I can at that moment. 
Loving - Every person owns this quality. For some it might come easy, others might struggle with this. For me, most of it comes easy. I love certain people and those people know it. It comes naturally. Sometimes I have to work a little harder. But I will always try to be a loving person. I will always respect people's dignity. Everyone deserves a chance. If they screw it up themselves, it's out of my hands. I try to do the best I can, still learning on a daily base.
Loyal - Loyalty, I think, is something everyone should have. It's not easy to be loyal. It's easier to mess things up and I have certainly learned from things in my past. I'm still learning every day and I always find that loyalty is one of the strongest things a person can carry. It builds character. A loyal friend is probably a good one, one you should always treasure. 
Honest - I will always try say what's on my heart. Give my honest opinion, even when that means it might hurt someone a little. I will not try to hurt someone on purpose but sometimes the truth stings. That said,  I will also be honest if I really like something. I will show appreciation and say what's on my mind.
Courage - I've never been a pussy. I have almost no fears. There's not much I wouldn't do. Call me courageous, call me crazy. I would never do something without considering the possible consequences , but if the consequences aren't too bad, you'll probably see me go. You only live once right.  
Rich - I'm rich bitch, and I'm not talking about money. It's about memories, things shared with other people. Things I've seen, came across, witnessed or took part in. I'm rich of experience and this will  only get more. I will never be a poor soul. Well, only if amnesia doesn't hit me.. But then we've still got the pictures!
Smart - I'm blessed to be able to have the opportunity to attent University in Holland. I worked hard to be able to and even though I took two years off of studying to go travelling instead, I will be going back to school. University starts in September and I will be attending it.
Perseverance - I'm a fighter, literally but also at heart. I don't like to quit. I might not like the way of how to get something done, and I might complain about everything I have to do but you will not see me quit. Not now, not ever. If the goal is set, it's there to be reached. Better work for it and don't give up.
Strong - I'm strong for a girl, I punch hard. But I also got a strong mentality. I've been through stuff that build me up strong. I've seen things in my daily life, at my jobs, among my friends and in places which made me strong at heart. People tell me I'm a strong person. Sometimes you just have to hold on. Stay strong, make them wonder why you're still smiling. I'm still smiling, that's for sure.

Not in the sky

Stresslevel: UP

Yesterday contained way too much stress for me. We all know that when something bad happens to someone or something you love, you are most likely to get stressed out. You feel bad, you wish you could do something to make it better or you wish this bad thing didn't happen at all. Yesterday was my day to wish I could do something to make things better. For a couple of days already my cat wasn't able to eat like he normally does (how much love I've got for my cat, he only has one love in his life; food) so we had to take him to the vet to see what was wrong with him. Almost immediatly she stated he needed to get some surgery done on his mouth to remove a couple of teeth which had been causing an infection. We had to leave him and we could pick him up in the evening again. Surgery is never without risk so I was a little scared something would go wrong. Luckily after a couple of hours the vet called to let us know everything went really well and he should probably make a full recovery. We picked him up but he still wasn't fully awake from the anestatics, which made it pretty hilarious watching him walk around the house like a drunk person (I know, I'm probably going to hell for laughing at this). One day has passed now and it looks like he's making a good recovery. At least he's got his love for food back..

Some people may think; all this for a cat? But this is not just a cat. This is my buddy. Animals have unconditional love. They will always love you, no matter what (well, in this case, as long as I feed him..). It's no secret I have a good bond with my cat, he cheers me up, he wakes me up, and he has a way of looking at me like; hey whatsup. Always a little friend at home. When things like this happen it stresses me out. I'm just really happy my buddy is doing well again. That's it for today. More posts on its way.

Song of the Day

Never too old

What did we learn today? Right, everyday is a good day to set new goals and to dream new dreams. Why put something off till tomorrow while it can be done today? Lately my life has being going like a rollercoaster and I found that when you hold on to your goals and dreams, the little things in life that happen to you everyday that you might not find as easy to deal with will just pass by a little bit easier. Take a look at the bigger picture. My goals mostly involve travelling and University. But your goals can be anything. It's important to set goals. And to dream dreams. It makes life just that much easier. Patience will test you and patience will be a bitch, but nobody said it was going to be easy. The reward will be even bigger when you had to work hard to achieve it. I consider myself blessed that I'm only twenty years old and already travelled this much. But I had to work my ass to be able to do this, I had to set goals and I had to dream big. Patience kicked my ass, but I kicked it right back. And the reward? If you could see my face right now, thinking of all my memories and things gained while travelling, there's a smile that would probably bring worldpeace. Okay, I'm going to leave it at this for today. Do with it whatever you want. But remember. Set your goals, dream your dreams, make shit happen. It's probably going to be worth it.


Thought I'd add a little song to today, A$AP Rocky - Fashion Killa
