I blame COVID for my multi-year absence from updating this blog (except for 2 recent, short updates of a few photos from mid-2023).
It’s currently July 2023 and, after working at Philips for 1 year (after 5 years at Adidas), I’m officially on garden leave before I start my next job in late August. Therefore I have no excuse not to update this blog with some photos of the past few years…They might not be interesting to our dear reader(s) but I like to save them here as a bit of a diary for Natalie and I to reflect back on.


An uplifting message at a furniture store in our neighbourhood during peak COVID restrictions.


We sanded/painted and had the carpet replaced in our apartment building (along with Milan/Eva, Ruggie/Lebo, and Jan-Rueben).

I think it’s a charming location for a doctor/GP (in our neighbourhood in Amsterdam).

During mandatory WFH a few friends and I rented a private office on the Herengracht canal in Amsterdam. We continue to use the office today….having access to this space has been a lifesaver.

I went on a long bike ride



My first festival; with Michel, Milan, Stefan


We thought about moving here in late 2021.
