Where Am I Now?

I live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

What Work Do I Do Now?

I am a freelance translator, copywriter, and proofreader, primarily working remotely. I also write essays for leading Dutch newspapers such as de Volkskrant and NRC. Next to this I am currently also the

I am available for freelance projects on Upwork, where I bring the same dedication and expertise to every client. What is Upwork?

In addition to these activities, I also enjoy helping SME entrepreneurs as a consultant. I help them consider the best approach for their supply and demand. I now do this on a regular basis for businesses in Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Portugal.

With practical tips and smart strategies, I help entrepreneurs get more out of their business without it costing a fortune. Whether it’s a better managed hotel, a more efficient kitchen or a more appealing menu in a restaurant or an event that really stands out, I love helping people move forward!

I Have A Pet

This is my cat Fifty Shady (2014, Cambodia). 

Projects

    1. I’m currently developing an original crime thriller called ‘Flagged‘ – a six-part series set in Thailand and Australia. The project has a complete pitch package with character profiles and episode outlines. I’m in discussions with production partners and am targeting streaming platforms like Netflix. If you’re a TV producer who might be interested, I’d love to hear from you.
    2. I am currently writing a novel called Het Laatste Hostel (The Last Hostel). It deals with themes such as digital identity, performative freedom, the illusion of online success, and the search for authenticity in a world that is always ‘on’. The central conflict revolves around the question: can you reinvent yourself if you disappear offline — and what remains of you without an audience?
    3. The Quiet Reader, an online literary magazine that I founded in 2020. Revamped and relaunched last Spring with a new edition released last December.
    4. I am Director of Operations of Expedition Kilimanjaro, the tour company I have been running since 2008. Yes, that’s for over 16 years and I can’t stop telling people to get up that mountain themselves.
    5. With my return to Cambodia, expectations arose that I will restart my former movie theater, The Flicks. The original location is no longer available, so I am quietly looking for a possible new location. Perhaps an existing building, or perhaps I’ll have something built on a vacant lot right in the middle of the city. Exciting times! But it won’t be a new Flicks, it will be a new name.
    6. On the former website of The Flicks Community Movie House, which I ran from 3 locations in the capital of Cambodia for 12 years, I still post recommended movies for fans of the better movies.
