My full name is Manja Koomen.
I am involved in this project since 2005, but seriously addicted since february 2007.
The basis of the investment of my time to this website is due to my passion for travelling and my love for sharing it with others.

You can see here where I have been uptil now. The countries which made the biggest impression on me until now are Japan and the Middle-East. These are two places where I experienced something completely different from my own culture. I will definitely go back to understand more.
