Big Mac & backpack problems

So far, the preparation for my journey is not going the way I want. While busy creating this website my MacBook decided to crash?! She didn’t even want to restart or start at all. So I paid a visit to the Apple Store in The Hague. The guy who helped me tried some things to make her breathe again…but unfortunately without success. I had to bring her to the Media Markt, the shop I bought my MacBook, to check and see what’s wrong…And I had to leave my ‘baby’ right there! I miss her so much! And it causes some delay in finishing my site. But I use my time wisely! I went shopping for a backpack. Oh my, so much choice, so little perfect ones for me…like none. I think I have to change my wishes and probably for the best! I’m not the average lady and I love me some luxury 😉 So, if it won’t be a backpack or my lovely blue suitcase, what will it be? To be continued…

 

 

I am…

Hi! I am Jacintha de Gruiter, 32 years old and living in Leidschendam (The Netherlands) at the moment. All my life I have been passionate about media & entertainment, so it wasn’t a surprise that I choose to study Media & Culture at the University of Amsterdam. I couldn’t be more happy! My days were filled with movies, television series, music videos, commercials and so much more.

During my studies I started writing news about celebrities. Over the years I developed this expertise and scored jobs at MTV Networks and ANP (Netherlands national news agency) among other companies in the media & entertainment industry.

But the last couple of years were not that easy. I really had to learn the hard way…to listen to my heart. I came to the conclusion that I have nothing to lose at this point. That’s why I decided to finally follow my biggest dream and another passion…traveling.

So in February I will start a trip around the world! The first destination will be the West Coast of the United States. A lot of people asked me to keep them posted so that’s why I finally launched my own website. I will use it for my journey around the world these coming months, but since life in general is one big journey, I will continue writing about my adventures when I’m back in town!

Of course I hope you will enjoy my stories. Anyway, thank you for taking this journey called life with me!

Love, Jacintha
