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 …
Sorry for my aviation geeks following me today something a little different. Did you ever build a house? Or let someone build a house? It’s nerve-wracking I can tell you. Right now I’m living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in the city center. I love this town I really do but as we wanted to get …
This question is so often asked on Instagram. What would you prefer to fly, airline or private? Do you want to fly a bigger plane? The answer is quite simple! At this moment I fly a so-called Medium sized jet that flies faster and higher than most airlines and could fly further than a Boeing 737 …

Often people think the following when I say: “I’m DUTCH” people understand that as Deutsch, as the people speak that language in the country on …
How did you finance flight school? This is the most asked question I received on Instagram and on this website. Today I will try to give some clarity on this subject and hopefully, it will help you. It has been 10 years since I got my finance for flight school, things might have changed since …
You call it Amsterdam, I call it home! Yeah, my city in the Netherlands. Its such a great city, well actually it is small it isn’t GREAT at all…! In Amsterdam everything is walkable, the only reason why you wouldn’t is that it is pouring rain or you are just a lazy ass like me. …
