This trip has definitely been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and as scared as I was leaving for my first big international trip by myself I am so happy that I made the decision to pack my bags and spend three amazing weeks on Bali. When I was young(er) I always wanted to become a teacher (afterwards I saw myself as a future fashion designer for a couple of years, but soon I went totally mad and had no clue what to become - hence the situation I am in right now, indecisive as one can be, studying without a purpose. #yolo?) and the two weeks of teaching I did there actually made me really happy. I might end up being a teacher after all! 

All I know now is that I have to finish my bachelor degree first (desperately looking for an internship, help!) but afterwards I'm definitely travelling again to see more of the world, as there's so much more to see, learn, eat and experience. I can't wait!
