Haroldje - Harold van Oorschot

Harold van Oorschot Who loves to travel will know my intrests, i love to see and experience other countries, cultures people and above all nature. That is why i normaly travel with my frend "Backpack" :P and others.

After one year working at the office as a trainee engineer for Van Oord I decided to work more outside.
Now I am working for the same company as a superintendent on projects all around the globe. My first project was in Qatar, a large chemo-patrol harbour from the gas field. The harbour is extended and my job was to coordinate and work with two vessels called "Volvox Delta" and "Rotterdam" this was verry intresting. And after my studie i have the feeling i work with coastal zone mannagement becouse everyday I am on the water. Now I am asked to participate in a trainee programm that lasts for one year (start end of september 2009). The traineeprogramm shows the company and learns about the work. This sounds verry intresting so I will do this!

Who am I:
Well I am Harold van Oorschot born in 1982 in Schijndel The Netherlands. Most of my time at primary school I spend looking outside to see the nature. When I saw the importance of studying this changed…..well I spend still allot of time to see what happens outside.
After two years of working I bougth a house that I rebuild with my dad. Photos are also on this page.

In September I start with a traineeship from Van Oord and for one whole year I will learn and study about the compagnie.
When your intrested to travel with me or know more about me just contact me.

Turkmenistan On the 19th of October my flight of 17.30 brought me from Amsterdam via Istanbul to Asghabath the main capitol of Turkmenistan. The last flight was terrible many people with to many stuff, I was surprised the people could carry so much. After landing I had to go for my visa, this took 2 hours of waiting. Than there was a man assisting how to get on my inland flight. Here this took about 2 hours to Turkmenbashy. When it got light I saw that the entire inland flight was over dessert and rocks. No towns or signs of civilisation. [View Full Entry]

Disappeared like dew under the South African dessert sun The first time I saw you, you where blond not your natural colour but you draw my attention. In my mind you where al combinations, sour and sweet, hard and soft, good and bad, food and drink….. From the first kiss when you playfully run down the stairs you concurred my hearth. Your lips where so soft and sweet like a drug running trough my veins. My addiction for you was born from that moment, we created our own live. You gave me your life, love, trust, the moon and the sky’s. [View Full Entry]

Op 27 augustus vertrokken we met de auto naar Frederikshaven van waaruit we met de boot naar Oslo varen. Na daar aangekomen te zijn hebben we eerst in Oslo wat gegeten en zijn toen verder naar het Noorden gereden. De eerste overnachting was vlak langs de weg maar iedereen die in Noorwegen is geweest weet dat je in Noorwegen niet ver van de weg hoeft om mooie plekken te vinden. Zo ook onze eerste overnachting, de buurman kwam nog even langs en bood ons hout voor een kampvuur. Daarna moest hij zijn fuiken in het meer nog legen voor de kreeften [View Full Entry]
