A blog taking you through the ups and downs, the triumphs of what being an (female) athlete is. For everyone with a passion for sports (life, travel) and not just high performance athletes. In some way I hope to motivate and encourage you to believe in you:  follow your passion and pursue your dreams! 

A lot of questions come my way when travelling, training, competing (and yes even when working-studying) to be honest some questions I don`t even know the direct answer to either. Some exist in my head already for a long time to.  So here you go;  I get my hopes, dreams, successes, decisions and challenges down in words. Take you along with me in my journey.

You know, all those things you`ve always wanted to do? You should go do them.

Enjoy the ride and chase dreams!
