Hi I'm Simonette! I have a slight chocolate addiction. May be found frying donuts at 12am. I have a BCom Transport Economics degree under my belt from Stellenbosch University. I'm an Italian who was born and raised in South Africa but has now moved to the Netherlands (complicated, I know). I'm in love with God and very excited to share my thoughts with you!
