Traveler Willem

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2015

I'm an enthusiastic traveler who visits around 5+ countries per year. Some are repeats since I like to go deep. Still, something new each year. You can hire me for short gigs in writing, travel related, music, photography, graphics, cultural/society/people related.
