Hi, I’m Heleen! Being in human sciences for many years leads you to think about others more than about your own personality traits, but the following description would probably describe me as closely as possible. I'd like to think of myself as a sincere, compassionate, helpful and an approachable person. I value relationships deeply, but I am also private and can be perfectly happy on my own. Being passionate about my ideas, means that I am sometimes perceived as a bit strongminded. To be positive and energetic and hardworking, comes naturally. Meeting and interacting with people from other cultures and learn about their world is a real passion. That was one of the main reasons for my recent study as a tourist guide We are animal lovers and it implies that there are always rescued dogs, cats and birds around. Interests include nature and conservation, hiking (long distance), yoga, other cultures, religions, music, crafts, reading, art, movies, cooking, gardening and travelling as often as possible. I see travel as a metaphor for life. Every day is new with new challenges and experiences and has to be lived to the fullest...
