Kris is the type of friend that would get you to really let your hair down when you need it and also when you least expect it. She will dance on tables with you and make you play terrible drinking games.
She’s the friend that always tells you to go for it, reminding you that the worst that can happen is not so bad at all. She will inspire you to follow your intuition and motivate you to pursue your experimental mind over your career mind. Ideally in a nice café setting with a decent Oat Latte.
She will actually call you out for over-indulging in self pity or procrastination and she places great importance on being honest and fair towards each other, no matter the type of relationship.
Kris is the friend that used to suck at handling money, until she found projects to save it for.
She still chooses to believe in love as romantics would, and the love of her life was initially her best friend (no kidding). She prioritises emotional decisions over rational ones and it might just be her biggest strength and weakness at the same time.
She’s the person that always injures herself somehow, loses her laundry in Thai floods, drops her shoes in the river and sometimes you wonder how she made it through life in one piece (so far).
Yet you also think of her as the lucky one cause you see her genuinely happy and joyful most of the time.
The amount of times you think she is lost and the amount of times you think she is not lost at all are probably equal. She is random, loves to try random things, has random stories to tell and has a very random mix of people in her life.
At times you’ll get to see the German in her come out. She does like certain things in order. Like her closet, the way she packs her suitcase or how she organises events and meetings. And when she promises something, she will stick to it.
She is her own biggest judge. Her struggles are the hard words she finds for herself, yet she will always remind you to love yourself first and foremost.
To some she might come across as undisciplined at times. And she probably is to a certain degree but she is also the type of person refusing to take anything too seriously and with that she puts living in the moment first. For the wild, conscious, love, funny, spiritual, random, chaotic moments.
Globalistina as a whole is the brainchild of Kris.
A passion project meant to combine creativity, self-expression, self development and life goals.
What started with a nice idea, has already turned into one of biggest learnings of her life. Learning new skills, channeling creativity, being patient, making tough decisions, accepting chaos, just to name a few.
Globalistina is a time stamp of Kris’ mindset along the years of her life and her ambitions, dreams and plans for the future.
And it is the best ‘job’ she could wish for.
