She left Holland to explore the world, cycled from Amsterdam to Damascus, hitch hiked to Nepal, cycled from Bangkok to Singapore, travelled extensively through Australia, New Zealand and eventually settled in Bali.

She equally divides her time between her studio, her home, children and the social media.
