I'm originally from the Netherlands, but I've lived in the U.S. for almost fifteen years now.  

I've lived all over the world though, and I still like to take my stories to places I've visited, like Paris, London, or even North Dakota (some great stories there, believe it or not). I love a good travel adventure.
