In memory of a new friend
When travelling it can be difficult to make new friends. When you do, the experience often marks the memories of a place.
The difference between expats and digital nomads
Expats have a very different experience to digital nomads visiting a country. A place that is paradise for two weeks or a month becomes frustrating and ordinary.
Not so great expectations
After living in Angola, we were wary of visiting another former Portuguese colony. We really weren’t looking forward to more corruption and stress. Would our expectations from those days ruin our trip?
Back to my roots
When I was contacted to join a team to work in the irrigation sector in Niger I didn’t have to think twice. It is true that in Niger, security is an issue and that many embassies give a negative travel advice. However, the possibility to work in irrigation sector in Niger, outweighed the negative travel advice.
Three reasons to love the city I hate
One of the main reasons to start travelling and working worldwide was to get out of Amsterdam. At least, it was for me. But there are still a lot of things I can enjoy in the city.
Languages: does it matter that you are not fluent?
For me, the challenge to bridge the gap between speaking a language pretty well and being a native speaker is often too difficult.
To plan or not to plan. To promise or not to promise.
How do you make plans when you have no plan? Do you make promises, only to break them? And how do you decide which opportunities will let you meet all your commitments?
Home everywhere, but still feeling displaced
For a long time already, I decided to stick with the idea that home is the place where I stay and sleep. But even so, it still makes me wonder, what is home for me, and for all those others who live away from their home country or town?
Where’s the next adventure?
Leonie is going to Peru for a week, and I’ve been wondering what I would do while she’s away. Go to Peru too? Chile, perhaps? There are so many options. Maybe even too many.
We are not on holiday
Working for yourself definitely takes a different kind of discipline than working for a boss. And working on the doorstep of a world wonder can take another shift in thinking.
