Hi, my name is Arjan and I am from the Netherlands. Traveling is my biggest passion in life and I have usually 1 trip planned in advance.

Between november 2018 and march 2020 I been traveling for 13 months in mainly South Asia and some European countries. It was my first travel alone and the best time I had in my life with all the travelers and local people I met on the way. Meeting people from all over the world is making me feel alive and realising that this world has so much beautifull to offer.

February 2022 I decided to travel again. 8,5 months of travel through the most amazing countries all over the world. North & South America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, South East Asia and Central Asia. I made new memories for a lifetime.

At the moment I am back home in Netherlands, working full time. But as I always look for new trips I have the following planned already.
20 - 23 January - Ireland (Dublin)
16 - 22 February - A combination of Estonia, Lithuania, Finland and Iceland!
7 - 10 April - Fuerteventura
26 april - 1 may - Madrid & Valencia
5 - 7 May - Pisa & Florence
25 - 29 may - Florence, Bologna
16 june - 8 july - Peru + Bolivia
29 july - 6 august - Saudi Arabia
26 - 30 august - Morocco
21 - 29 october - Asturias & Gran Canaria
18 - 21 november - Finland (Rovaniemi)

I still live with my parents in a small town in The Netherlands. I actually never had someone who contacted me to stay as it is definetely not common to see tourist around here. In case you are around, just let me know and I will check the possibilities of hosting you.

I am very interested in what other people has to tell from their experiences and to make new memories.
