Hi everyone,

Today a bit of a different post than usual, mainly because I’ve been feeling a little uninspired and not quite sure what to write about. I had a few drafts sitting, but was hitting a wall when it came to research. Perhaps my mind is a little full trying to keep up with bi-weekly Substack posts, jumping on new freelance jobs every week (since my long term job has been over, I’ve had consistent short-term gigs) and building my course and really wanting to perfect it with the right references I can find. I also re-recorded many of my episodes, because a lot of information came back to mind that I didn’t want to leave behind! Soooo many exciting things on my mind, I wish there were more hours in a day.

So to say, my mind has been pretty full. Another thing is that I have something extremely exciting coming up, I will be travelling Asia for 9 weeks from the end of August. It’s always been on my Wishlist, but never had the chance to and now I finally took the courage to plan it entirely. This also means moving out of Berlin soon, packing all my belongings in a storage and when I’m back I hope to get my drivers license when I’m back in the Netherlands and move to Paris early coming year.

Anyways anyways haha, this post I want to just share some inspiration I saved recently, things I’ve watched, read and got inspired by. A little peak inside my mind! From books, old videos I saved, photographers and random stuff.

If you want more inspiration on your feed. I’m pretty active on Instagram, sharing some of my image research and inspiration on Instagram.
