My name is Lidewij Olive, from the Netherlands. I love independent travelling and photography. Through travelling I saw a lot of places, learned a lot of things and experienced a lot more in life than I would without travelling. I like to share the world with you. The world how I see it, by my own eyes, captured throuh my lens. Because I think the world has so many special places and people. Some stunning, some impressive, some sad. But all with its beauty within.

I started this blog when I went to Ghana for holiday. I had so many impressions and photo’s and I liked to share them online. So I decided to make this travelblog. Some time later, I made a big, half year, trip. I decided to use this blog to give updates along the way. During this trip I worked with a local NGO and lived with a local family in Bolgatanga, Ghana. After I finished this job, I travelled with my boyfriend around Ghana and to Tanzania, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Japan and Rome. It was a journey we will never forget! We saw so many things and learned so much! Now I use this blog for further travels and updates about my photography activities, to show this beautiful world and the way people live in it. I hope you enjoy this blog, inspire you a bit and make you think about your own world and the differences in the world.

All photo’s on this blog are made by me, except some where I am on. The words are from me or from my boyfriend, depending on the blog.
