I was born and raised in the Netherlands, and lived for 7 years in the United States of America. Currently, I live in beautiful Australia and when I have some spare time, I like to write inspiring short stories. Apart from creating and telling great stories, I enjoy writing for two main reasons, the first reason is for my emotional and intellectual growth through the exploration of the human emotional experience. The second equally important reason is to address important social issues to inform and hopefully cause a positive impact (even if it is small) on the global society. Please, check back later because more short stories are on their way.
