Hello readers,

Let me introduce myself: I am Noortje (Noor for you), a 27 year old Dutch writer, traveler and more so, a person who wants to chase and catch dreams. That is why I am sitting in a small room in a noisy house in Lima at this moment, completely with a water problem, a landlord who was once a handyman celebrity and recovering from food poisoning.

I left Holland a little over two months ago with the goal: making a living out of (travel)writing. I didn’t knew if things would work out, people at home were skeptical and I knew things would get though, but still, I didn’t care. Live to the fullest and if it doesn’t work out, at least you have a huge amount of (life/work) experience without having to say “what if” on your death bed. Not that I am planning to die any day soon, but.. ah, you get my drift.

So after chasing jobs in Ecuador (which, among things, led to a man calling everyone he knew in the town I lived in to warn people for me, because apparently I was “crazy.” As you might have guessed, that was one of my disappointments on the road of my dreams), right now Peru is the victim of my goals. And as probably many of you know, traveling doesn’t come without wonderful, crazy,  interesting and inspiring situations. And I am here to share them with you.

I hope you will enjoy my blog just as much as I do, because I can always use some support in this crazy little thing called life.
