Many of you already know, for many years I have been greatly interested in Asia. Back in 2005 I first visited Japan for a 6 week summer holiday together with my good friend Mark. This marked the start of a much greater adventure. The experience of meeting new people haff way around the globe and learning about a new culture was a truly magnificent experience.
The years to come I visited many other countries in Asia creating numerous new friendships with people from all over the world. To me it was a true eye-opener and taught me to look beyond borders and cultural differences. In some way it really shaped my personality. I continued studying Asian Economics and Business Management at the HES in Amsterdam.
During my studies I had many great opportunities to engage myself more. I participated in a university exchange program with Korea University in Seoul and successfully completed my internship at the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Osaka, Japan.
By now you must be wondering why I named this article “History is gonna change, I’m gonna make something of myself!”
Having nearly completed my bachelor studies I am seriously considering to challenge my future by studying abroad. Not surprising, The field of International Relations really appeals to me. At the moment I haven’t yet decided on what university I will continue my graduate studies but obviously that would be in Asia. Mostly likely either in Japan or Korea.
Soon I will turn this page and start a new chapter abroad creating a new future with my own hands!

In a nation with a crippled economy you’d imagine that every person would be working in a productive job, trying to improve upon the economical status of the country.
