Hiking in Gran Canaria Building this website Hiking in Iceland

Welcome to my personal page

On this page you can find information and news about the adventures I have in my free time. I will write blogs here and there on cool stuff. Check it out below!

The 2023 hike in Gran Canaria 🇪🇸

In 2023, me and my significant other (Kaya) went on a hiking trip to Gran Canaria, hiking from north to south. In this extensive blog post I report on the adventures we encountered day by day. From getting lost, to life-changing events and horrifying animal noises, all is passing by! For every day, Kaya also made a vlog that you can watch on YouTube (Dutch, but English subtitles). Read it here, enjoy!

Building this website (from scratch)

Building this website has been a bit of a journey. In this blog post, I will take you along this journey (as far as I remember things) and hopefully give you some useful tips in case you want to go for the same challenge as I went for. From starting with a site-builder like HUGO, to writing it yourself using classic HTML, figuring out how the heck you get it online and eventually building my own site-builder. Read it here, enjoy!

My 2021 holiday in Iceland 🇮🇸

During the summer of 2021, just after the Netherlands was released from lockdown, we (my partner Kaya, friend Thomas and me) went on a hiking trip in Iceland. In this blog post, I take you along the days of our itinerary. We come across colorful mountains, boiling puddles and a million waterfalls. Not only words cannot describe the natural beauty we encountered, so I made sure to include enough pictures ;-). Read it here, enjoy!
