Having a dream is good. However, a dream stays a dream when we don't take actions. This is what I am doing, and have done, to start realising my dream:

​

1

----

Start studying at the International Lifestyle Studies to become a trendwatcher and concept developer. This means that I am creating creative and innovative concepts that solve current problems and improve the quality of life for people. The study provides multiple options to go abroad or to grow an

international network.

​

----

Fully deepening myself in the opportunities of going abroad for a minor (exchange program) and for an internship. I already found amazing and special opportunities, but haven't chosen yet. this is why it feels a sort of 'coincidental', that this application occurs at this time. I already made up my mind, and took preparation, that I am going to travel for a long time from next (school)year, September 2018. This seems to match with the question from Discovery Channel for an internship for next year. So this means that the Discovery Internship would fit perfectly in the time of my life.

----

Working as the Assistent ACI International (Academy for Creative Industries), inside my college. Which means that I am developing the study trips for the current 2nd year students. I applied for this function to extend my international network and to learn more travel-, and organization skills.

​

----

Being a buddy for three international students currently started their Bachelor study program at my institute. The reason I have to be a buddy is to meet new (international) people and to help them with this study.

----

Following Spanish classes.

Last year I visited the future festival at Londen, my first business congress and my first (big) step towards an international network in my work field.
