Hello,
I'm Rick and I study photography at the Graphic Lyceum Rotterdam in The Netherlands.
I've just finished my internship in Aruba and London. Just a few more week till I hopefully graduate.

I like to be a tourist and capture the world.

I've started my journey in the summer of 2012 by traveling trough my home country Holland. I started a project called "World tour trough the Netherlands" where I captured pictures in different city's. I continue in the summer of 2013.

Now that I have traveled trough the Netherlands it was time for Europe. I've been on vacation in Europe before with my dad visiting France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Swiss. And with my mom to Belgium, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.
Does my school trip to Paris count?

In December 2014 I flew to London for a week, to celebrate New Year's Eve there. The summer of 2015 was located in Budapest. A 5 day journey where I photographed a lot, it is such a beautiful city. I would recommend it to everybody.

While I was doing my internship in Aruba I took some days off to visit Bonaire and Curacao. It really is a paradise. Once you've been to a island like this. You'll never swim at your own (dirty) beaches again. I also managed to go to Medellin in Colombia. This was a lifetime experience! I recommend to take the Guatape tour aswell!

One of my dreams is to go to South Africa, I hope I'm able to visit it for a few months. After that I would like to travel around America. But first I have to continue Europe and graduate. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really like clubs, I rather have a drink with some friends at home.

What i do love is going to concerts.
I've been to;
- Beyonce (twice)
- Lady Gaga (twice)
- Rihanna
- Katy Perry
- Pink (Best one)
- Ellie Goulding
- Marco Borsato (Dutch)
- Lange Frans and Friends (Dutch)
- Years and Years
- Adele

I like watching movies.
I tried to skip series since they are quite addicted and they keeps stealing my time when I have more important stuff to do.
But the ones I follow are
- American Horror Story
- Flash
- Arrow
- How to get away with murder
- Riverdale

What about books? Hmm I don't know, sometimes I like to read but books are mostly way to much text for me. I might rather stick around with magazines.
