About Me

New entry 22-09-2018
On a motorcycle travelling through Australia, currently doing East Coast. Packed with camera gear (drone and such) ready for adventure. Team up?

Hi, I'm Daniël

I'm both a psychology and a real estate student with no clue about in which field I will eventually end up.

I am lost but I try to find direction.
For me life is not about the years that we live but the quality of those years as it should be (in my opinion).
In order to fill those years with quality I tend to get nervous when staying in one place to long and I call it "homesick" in the opposite meaning of the word.

Every memory should be different, they should be seperatable. In order to create a lot of them and to be able to remember them one memory should not be able to flow over into the other. Memories have to be unique and so should experiences.
So in order to follow this philosophy I try to do lots of new things and to keep moving in life.

It is as if I'm allergic to standing still, and that's why I'm here.

And also to give other people the same opportunities I've had, help them create valuable memories to go back to when not going forward.

Enthousiastic and outgoing, always in for something new, also always looking for an adventure.

Bucket list:
☑️sky diving
☑️bungee jumping
✅wreckage diving
✅herding cattle on horseback/dirt bike
✅500 subs on youtube "Venture vlog"
☑️1000 subs on youtube "Venture vlog"
✅All around Australia on Motorbike
☑️lots lots more
