Yesterday was kinda special, not only because I went to Amsterdam with Eastpak (more about this great trip very soon) but it was also international women’s day! Wouldn’t call myself a die-hard feminist, yet equal rights for every human being are high on my list of extremely important matters. Never forget that our grandmothers weren’t even allowed to vote when they were young! It seems like ages ago but equal rights don’t exist such a long time and for many women around the world it’s still a dream that hopefully will ever come true.

So let’s remind ourselves of the fact that we’re very blessed to live in a country where we’re free to exist and that it’s so important to respect one another, no matter which gender you are.
