May 2014 be as funky as 2013 was!

Happy new year! May 2014 bring you lots of happiness, compassion and love.

As I always do during the last days of the year, I looked back on the previous year. Overall conclusion: 2013 was a very good year. I spent quality time with the people I love, met a lot of new and inspiring people in the most amazing locations and learned a lot. I learned for instance how to keep on walking with feet covered in blisters and a fever that made me delirious.

The things I am most proud of:

• Walked more than 650 kilometers to Santiago de Compostela 
• Wrote about 100 lieve brieven 
• Put up a Dreamboard with Liliane 
• 'Married' my friends Brittany and Philippe (I officiated the ceremony)
• Organised (and presented) an Ignite event 
• Started driving lessons again 
• Ate a grasshopper

Some other highlights:

• Visited London with my sister Ayla
• Learned about critical connections with Gibran (in Nicaragua)
• Went on the camino (with its own highlights: the first albergue, Paul's last dinner, foodie day with Suzanne, the preacher, meeting Johnny Redsocks, arriving in Santiago)
• Being in Porto with Pim
• Visiting Kanchanaburi and the Saxophone bar in great company
• Did a Sweat Lodge with the fantastic Angelique 
• Learned about being centered and strong all around through practicing Taikiken

In 2013 I got to know some people I already knew a lot better, for which I am very grateful. Also I met a lot of new remarkable people in 2013. Thank you for making 2013 such a fantastic adventure!
