My name is Damiaan, I'm a lone traveler.
This website can be seen as a most likely outdated hodgepodge of a small portion of things that I experienced while traveling.
Please keep in mind that I’m neither a professional writer, nor a photographer. The photos on this website are “quick photos” that I took with my phone, their only purpose being to preserve my own memories and experiences.

My travel style is varied. I have camped out in the wild in numerous places, hitchhiked tens of thousands of kilometres through all sorts of locations and climates, and stayed in hundreds of different homes. But besides being, in essence, a lover of going off the beaten path, I adore doing the opposite as well.
VIEW ALL MY REPORTSThe stories on this website are in no particular order, and the articles I write do not follow a particular pattern.
I wouldn’t consider these stories interesting, informative, or even special to read, myself. I created this collection – which can be more accurately characterized as an unfinished diary that omits the most personal details – at the request of many, for the purpose of anyone who might be interested.
