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
