Are you living your dream or did you fall asleep?

It has been a motto if mine that I have been using on various Social Media for the last few years. My life in these years has been one that, how can I say, has been lead by what my heart tells me. I made various trips to Mombasa, where I feel at home, working at the boys home and seeing them grow and blossom due to the care of Mom Melissa. I have been working at a great company, moving up and expanding my responsibilities. My work at the refugee camp in Rosmalen, working with 500 men from mostly Arabic and African countries and I have a loving family and awesome friends who I adore!
I think I found my passion and also talent in the last few years...helping people move forward, in all kind of ways. Even sometimes making life hard on myself and making myself totally unimportant to make others happy or help them move forward and get out of a difficult situation. And now....now I am taking this big step! It has been on my mind for a few years and even as a child I always said I wanted to go do volunteer work in Africa. That dream I have accomplished and loved it so much. I lost my heart to the beautiful people, great culture and good weather of East Africa. After my last (short) holiday there I came back with the same feeling I have every time... I have to do more.... I decided to check the possibilities of jobs. Surprisingly and sooner then expected I got an offer for a great job in Zanzibar. A small, but beautiful island near the coast of Tanzania and Kenya. Wow! I couldn't believe it....so now I am getting ready to leave, gave up my apartment and job and I am selling everything I own.....what a great feeling it is to not own anything, a life without belongings......that's what makes me feel free!

Curious about my new office? ;)
