#28 Xavier from Spain/The Netherlands

The Spanish accent of Xavier was driving me crazy! He is such a nice guy, friend of Luisa a good friend from back home who now lives in Amsterdam. I can tell without knowing him much that he has a good heart, he has a nice sense of humor! We might meet again, this time I will let him speak Spanish! 😀 maar niet met the accent
Xavi take care of Luisa! Gracias

#27 Nina from Bulgaria

Nina is pretty, smart and open to meet new people. She came to Amsterdam this year and I think If I would stayed, we would be great mates! Unfortunately I left but I had with her something I normally do not find easily in people and is: Empathy! 
I was waiting for a friend for about 40 minutes in the reception of a building, she was doing the same, in one hour we managed to share the highlights of our life, dreams, ideas and thoughts, we understood eachother so well and we kept contact. Now I can’t wait to get back to Amsterdam and hang out with her, or maybe in another part of this small world! 

Again, the pleasure was mine!

#26 Sjors from the Netherlands

After the full moon party, I had an accident, that and my laziness are just excuses for what I did not continue writting the blog. I have more free time and I will catch up with all the relevant people I have met so far, some of them became good friends of mine and I am blessed.

One of them is Sjors, you will imagine there is not such a thing: Dutch guy and Laid back, well yeahhhh kind of! He was there during my accident (I fell of my bike and twisted my ancle), he was actually, the only one during my accident, I like to call him an Angel, also since I found out that he has survived to some accidents himself. He helped me a lot and took me home without knowing me. After that he left to an Island in Spain to practice Kite Surfing for 3 weeks.
Something that I like about Sjors’ personality is that he is driven by feeling… in that way is very similar to me. Make a wish and take a change! 🙂  I am so humble and blessed to have met you Sjors. Much love!

#25 Bruce from Canada

OMG this guy is full of light! 🙂 Bruce is a friend of my friend Amanda from Canada. He is travelling around Europe and passing by Amsterdam I had the change to meet him. Bruce is super opened minded and a bit crazy! We went to a party together and talk about their experience in Europe. I can describe Bruce with the word FUN! He was a light in the conversation and at the party, he was smiling the whole time and that reminded me to a quote about joy that I like a lot: 

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh

#24 Tom from the Netherlands

Tom inspired me in different ways!

I met him in one of our AIESEC reunions in Amsterdam. He will travel the world but what he wants to do is very special. He wants to go different countries where people many people will never imagine on going on a normal holiday! he is heading for 6 months to countries in the Middle East and Asia such as Krygyzstan, Uzbekistan. What an adventure! Meeting Tom made me think big! Most people aim for what they think is attainable, but in reality, they are only giving in to limiting beliefs. It’s just as easy to think big as it is to think small; it only takes a small shift in your mindset.  The world is full of doors awaiting to be open and to experience the flavors of each experience…  Good luck with the adventure:)

If you want to understand how the world works, you need to get outside your bubble.

#23 Nikola from Serbia

Nikola is a good example of living the moment chasing your dream! He dreams big and he is following a path getting there!
Nikola is a coach assistant of the Tajikistan national football team! as soon as you start a conversation about something related to football or sports you can tell that he is passionate about the topic. He gave up many things to follow his dream and I admire that a lot. Nikola talked to me very openly about his life… 

I don’t remember how many times he told me this phrase: ‘You don’t know what will happen tomorrow’ No worries to much! 😀 That actually cheer me up many times that day. 

It was a pleasure to meet you coach! It was the first but not the last! 🙂
