As a storyteller, explorer, business strategist, Yoga and meditation teacher, and health enthusiast, I believe in the power of sharing my unique experiences and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I know that every little sparkle within you counts and you should be passionate enough about life to explore what feels right to you at each phase of your life.
I’m Mahsa (Moon in the Persian language). Growing up in the bustling city of Tehran, I always felt a deep yearning for something more. The confines of familiarity never truly embraced me, and I knew that my soul craved to see and experience the world beyond my hometown. European culture and the melodious charm of the French language had me captivated from the start. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, I dove headfirst into learning French, readying myself for the journey of a lifetime – a study abroad experience in Canada.
As fate would have it, my path to Canada encountered a slight detour when I missed a crucial document during the application process. That’s when I realized the importance of having guidance. Not wanting to wait another year, Germany embraced me as my second home.
Halle, a charming little city in the eastern part of Germany, became my academic haven, and Later, my professional journey led me to the vibrant city of Cologne.
However, life had more surprises in store for me, and in 2021, during a serendipitous encounter in Portugal, I met my Dutch partner. After a year of maintaining a long-distance relationship, I made the bold decision to move to the Netherlands. A new version of myself emerged as I crossed borders once more – feeling more accomplished and confident, ready to make a positive impact.
With each move to a different country, I’ve discovered that a new me unfolds. Embracing different cultures, meeting diverse people, and immersing myself in novel experiences have enriched my perspective in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
Inspired by this revelation, I’ve embarked on a mission to build an inclusive and supportive community for expats. Together, we’ll organize a myriad of events that celebrate diversity, foster friendships, and create cherished memories. If you’re in the Netherlands, I invite you to be a part of this incredible tribe, – let’s meet, connect, and inspire each other on this magnificent journey of life.
See you around the community!
