Beer-aan-botje The story so far Some time ago now I knew I wanted to go off and do something again, first it was backpacking then a campervan and then I came full circle and settled on a child hood dream of a sailing boat. I started my search and the boat for me became less of a reality, as the more boats I saw the more features I wanted in the boat of my dreams one thing was certain, steel boats are a lot more common in Holland, So off I went in a cloud of smoke to the land of [View Full Entry]

Just enough time for a shower before I go and meet my date, as with all ladies she is late, but soon she joins me in the bar and we go for a walk around the town, Romance bloomed. After a few more days on the road and a lot of boats looked at, That first boat of the road trip was still top of the list so I went back for both the boat and the girl. I did a deal and agreed the work I wanted done and spent the rest of my stay: you guessed it, with the [View Full Entry]

Een klein woordje om af te sluiten. Vorige week donderdag ben ik allerhartelijkst ontvangen geweest op de luchthaven door Jasmijn, mama, oma en opa. En de daaropvolgende dagen heb ik op mijn dooie gemak weer enkele passen gezet in mijn echte leven. God dank Jasmijn en Brecht hun goede raad, anders had ik die dagen al volgepropt met honderden activiteiten. Dankjewel allemaal voor het lezen van mijn verhalen. Ik heb de afgelopen week al vernomen dat er zo nu en dan lezersclubjes bijeenkwamen in Gent en Leuven. Dankje voor de vele reacties. Ik heb heel graag voor jullie geschreven. [View Full Entry]

Over een paar weken (dagen) vertrek ik op wereldreis. Nu lijk ik nog een zee van tijd te hebben, in werkelijkheid komt het toch al heel dichtbij ...

At long last, after 2 relaxing yet boring months in Ohio in my miserably hot apartment, I finally made it out here to Belgium, and it's.....well, boring! I knew I was going to a city called Overpelt, but I thought it was a suburb of Brussels. Turns out it's an hour away! Overpelt is your typical European town or "village" as Herman, the driver that picked me up from the airport, called it. I didn't even know villages still existed! Learn something new every day, I guess. It's very nice and pleasant, but extremely uneventful, or at least to my knowledge, [View Full Entry]

Genk, a cycletrip of 30 kilometers, in total An The first of May is a national holiday in Belgium.
