What country are you from?
Holland
What drew you to the MEV and what excites you about living in this community?
I have lived in Morocco and was looking for a place to move where I could be part of a community. I saw the MEV on IG and it was exactly the place I was looking for. Living in a place that matches my lifestyle with other people having the same mindset and goals in life. Sharing and building up a community sharing a sustainable and holistic lifestyle.
Who are you as a person? (personality, values, etc.)
I am a curious, fun, energetic, independent, adventurous and entrepreneurial person. I place great value on freedom, authenticity, equality, personal growth, open communication, kindness to all humans and animals, respect, helping others, meaningful experiences and connections and I am striving to build a life guided more by personal choices than by societal expectations. I find caring and sharing very important and love doing social things. I am very close to nature and try to live a most healthy, natural, holistic lifestyle as possible. I find living in a city too individualistic and miss a community around me in daily life I can share my thoughts and way of living with.
Tell us about yourself and/or your family—your interests, hobbies, occupation, and passions.
I am born in Holland with an english mother and dutch father. Unfortunately they passed away. At the moment I don't have a partner and I have no children so I am free to create my own life. Also the lack of having a family makes me wanting a community around me too. Horse-riding is my big passion and I love to travel the world, also yoga, diving and hiking I love doing. I am also a big foodie so I love trying new things and cooking myself. As I am very curious about a lot of things and love learning and developing myself I love to explore new things. I left my job as a corporate liability underwriter a few years ago to take care of my mom who had alzheimers. Then I realized I never want to go back to an office job. So at the moment I am setting up my own online business where I want to sell luxury sustainable Home & Outdoor Living products. I want to create my life around my lifestyle and not around work and what is expected from me any more. So its time for this beautiful new chapter in my life where I can thrive and be ME 100% :-)
What will be your role in the community? (e.g., sustainability projects, community gatherings, permaculture, holistic wellness, creative workshops, education, etc.)
I would like to be involved in organizing projects, anything involving horses and organizing treks and petsitting. I like to organize events and help hosting them. I have worked in the event business too when I was younger. Sustainability projects and community gatherings and anything to do with food and the land too.
What does your dream community look like? Dream day in the MEV?
Waking up with a cop of coffee outside in my garden. Doing some yoga and work a little. After walk through the village meet or talk to some neighbors. Walk my own or other people's dog. Work on a local project. Go horse-riding or swimming and meet up for drinks or a meal.
