I’ve been standing next to the runway of the airport Schiphol for as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to take me to the airport so I could watch airplanes. I’ve always known that I wanted to become a pilot. Instead of going to the zoo or pool, you could just put me …
Alright, a little story about pilots and moving a lot. I moved around quite a bit in the meanwhile but I’m planning on staying next time for a bit longer. I was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My parents came from Amsterdam, they took me to Almere where I grew up until I was 18 …
This thing is amazing. I’ve got an electric longboard!!! Have you ever seen any of the video’s on youtube from Casey Neistat?

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.
