Traveling the World

Sam Nihof

My why

Why I started traveling in the first place? I am from the Netherlands, and as some people may know, the Netherlands is so small that you don't even see it on the world map. I felt stuck in my little country. I have always traveled but never for a long time, so I decided it was time for a big trip. At least that is what I told my mom, but I am still not on my way home after two years.

Australia and New Zealand

I have lived in Australia for two years. It's hot, dangerous and the people talk funny. However, it felt like home. After two years, I decided to give New Zealand a chance. New Zealand is beautiful, mind-blowing, and mesmerizing all at the same time. Very expensive, though.

What have I learned?

I have learned so much about people and culture. Everybody says they travel to see the world, but I also travel to meet new people. I have a whole new family in Australia, and they have taught me so much. I have also improved my English to a new level, and I am ready to use it. Working as a freelancer gives me so much location freedom that I consider it my best choice ever.
I can translate any document from English to Dutch and vice versa. I am also very much into copywriting, but I am a little more careful with the subjects there.
