Hylkje Kroon

After studying for five years, I decided to go to sea. Without wanting to be too airy-fairy, nothing is more liberating and captivating at the same time as spending 21 days at sea. If everyone would undergo this at least once, I honestly believe the world would be a better place. Spending three weeks on a boat for something that takes us 8 hours by plane, makes you realize how skewed our perception has become. If we would all accept that this planet is our only home, we would be living in paradise.
