I'm the founder of Tracking Happiness, which I started in an effort to find like-minded people from all over the world. The goal of Tracking Happiness is to help you better manage your mental health. I started by writing about tracking your happiness in a journal, but the content quickly grew into many other topics.

I interviewed over 100 people about mental health struggles, in an effort to destigmatize mental health issues. Together with my team, I try to turn these stories into actionable insights, lessons and tips to better help those who are struggling with similar challenges.

I'm from the Netherlands, love skateboarding, ran 6 marathons, and love learning new things. I consider myself to be a data junkie and have tracked my happiness for over 10 years!

It was a delicate dance of maintaining appearances while wrestling with an internal chaos that threatened to spill over at any moment.”
