While waiting on the airport I started to think about the way we travel. Why do we prefer to fly? Why take a train or a car. Why take a bicycle at all. Starting with just taking a simple walk. Walk, I walk if I feel like it but if I know the walk is …
You might have noticed on my other social media platforms that I love to do watersports. It has been something I’ve been doing every summer since my 6th birthday. My parents had plans to open a Waterskipark in Almere, near Amsterdam (cable park Almere.) I liked swimming already so my parents put me on a …
Today I want to explain everyone where I’m from and explain a bit about my little country. There is a big misunderstanding about The Netherlands, the country where I’m from.
