Traveling and Writing
This website is about traveling and writing. Being on the move and being emotionally moved. Two different but interconnected things. Spotting places and losing your heart. Temples, pyramids, cities and ruins, forests and mountains, valleys and rivers, volcanoes and lakes, daily life in the streets, the world as habitat for writing.

welcome to the visitors
Hello Visitors,
This blog is about my travels. Enjoy the stories and the pictures. Visitors, view my books and get your inspiration. The world is exciting, just see and love it. Leaf through the pages, float on my words and keep cool. Airports are the cathedrals of this time, the forests are our souls. Forget amusement and glamor, listen and hear the silence of the earth.
In 2009, I traveled to West-Papua (Indonesia) and visited the Baliemvalley in the heart of the island. Up till 1938, it was a white spot on the map of the western world. It still is a mysterious place to go. I wrote a little book about it, meditations and memories. A new style of geography, an experience of body and soul. (In Dutch)
"Zeven Dagen in de Baliemvallei"
