Hey I'm Anouk from The Netherlands! I grew up in rural village in the south of Netherlands.

My whole life I've been interested in other people, countries and cultures. The differences in people always attracted me. That's why I bought a backpack when I turned 24 and I quit my office job. A few months later I took a flight to Australia. I started working there but in the meantime I also explored whole New Zealand with my own lil ''campervan''. Freedom, the opportunity to connect with all different people and learn new things. Every day was a journey itself. I did never let this feeling go.

More than 1.5 years later I returned to The Netherlands. I lived for a while in Eindhoven and in Portugal.

Now I'm back in Holland/Germany and it's the right time to do something back for the travel community.
