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This website can be seen as a most likely outdated hodgepodge of a small portion of things that I experienced while traveling.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.
