Movements in the World and in the Mind
After my play time in Malta I returned to the Netherlands where summer was still present, but it wasn't as hot as it once was. Yet again, I spent several weeks in Amsterdam at my dear friends Rick and Louis, who are like family, and whose loved-filled household has been one of my main pillars... Continue Reading →
Just before the (surf) season was drawing to an end at Sri Lanka’s south coast, two newly made surfer friends and I headed for Arugam Bay, Lanka’s surf ‘mecca’ at the east coast, where the season was just about to start. A-Bay’s strange Mix Arugam Bay, or A-Bay if you want to appear to be... Continue Reading →
Although Sri Lanka is a relatively small country with great offerings in terms of nature and culture, my main reason for visiting the teardrop-shaped island is to surf. The topic of Sri Lanka as a surf destination had come up several times in the last few months and were attention goes, energy flows, or so... Continue Reading →

I was in the island of Koh Pha-ngan, where I planned to do a yoga course at Agama, a well-known yoga centre with branches all over the world. Once I was there, I wasn’t quite feeling the vibe and decided to make a move. One of my dorm roomies at Mythai Guest house, a young... Continue Reading →
After returning from el Maghreb el Aqsa, or Morocco in plain English, I returned to Lowlands Country for a couple of days to make the last arrangements for my trip to the East. I would also be meeting up with an old friend, who I have known since my early teens. I hadn’t seen her... Continue Reading →
After my Latin American adventure, I returned to Europe, where I got a warm reception, as always, from my dear friends Rick and Louis and a cold reception from the weather. The weather was manageable, as I connected with family and friends and planned to go to Southern Africa within the next couple of weeks... Continue Reading →
Initially, the idea was to travel in the Americas for a few months and return to Europe after summer to settle myself somewhere at the southern edge of the continent. Within the first week of my Latin American travel ball, I decided, that there would be no such thing as settling down just yet. Why... Continue Reading →
