About me.

My name is Allard. I'm living in The Netherlands, a beautiful country in Western Europe. I studied geography and history and I have been a teacher for many years. I have traveled all over the world: from New Zealand (family) to Suriname (work), from New York (with my kids) to Greece (holiday) and from Helsinki (work) to Singapore (family).

Because it is much better that we do not travel every 'day', it is sometimes more convenient to just do the journey from your own home: virtually!  The consequence of implementing the 2015 Paris climate agreement is that we all have to travel less around the world, if this is not immediately necessary. In this website I'll take you to the most beautiful places in the world, without having to take the plane or your car.  You also may be afraid of flying or seriously ill. Even then you can see a lot of the world. In that case, also travel virtually.


Have fun traveling the world virtually. Maybe you like it that way.
