Hi there dear visitor,
My name is Jacques Bazen. I made this website to share with you the wonderful world of travelling.
Travelling is wonderful, because you'll get to know other cultures, other people and other countries. And besides that,
travelling gives you the opportunity to check the things you learned from books about certain area's in reality. Which
hopefully will give you a better understanding of the world itself, with its special things and nuances.
I was born in 1979. I've always been very interested in knowing things about the rest of the world. Geography and history
were my favourite subjects at school. After I got my VWO highschool degree in 1997, I studied Human Geography at Utrecht University.
I specialised in regional geography, with an emphasis on historical geography and regional geography of Eastern Europe. I did
physical geography and historical cartography as minors.
In 1999, the second year of my study at university, I started to work as a Geography teacher at the Van Lodensteincollege
of Amersfoort. At the moment I work as international relations officer and also as a teacher for Saxion Universities
of applied sciences in Enschede. I love teaching. I don't want to just consume knowledge and learn things, I also like to
produce knowledge and share it with other people.
Well, that last part sounded pretty pompous I suppose. I also enjoy having a good beer and a delicious meal in
a nice restaurant by the way.
I hope my website will inspire you to look around, to enjoy the things our ancestors left behind.
Enjoy the pictures, and feel free to write something in my guestbook.
Best regards,
Jacques Bazen
