This gives me new energy:

A delicious cup of homemade Indonesian soto soup, a cold shower, laughing at silly jokes with friends, a lunch walk, strength training, and an indoor spinning session at Rocycle.

This is where I get my inspiration from:

As a child, I was already crazy about all kinds of art forms, from theater and museum visits to creating things myself. Lately, I try to make more time for this again. And what I really can’t do without as a source of inspiration is music. I also love going to concerts.

The place where I recharge:

The place where I recharge depends on my mood. After a busy day, I sometimes really long for my couch at home to disappear into, and at other times I want nothing more than to go outside for a long walk in nature. Fortunately, here in the Utrecht area where I live, I have many outdoor spots to go to.

My favorite season:

I was born in winter myself and really love the month of January because the chance of cold and snow is generally greatest then. I feel happy when I can walk on fresh, crunchy snow on a sunny winter day, with the cold on my face and a red nose.
