Welcome at traveldutchies!

My name is Jeroen, 31 years young. After my study  Business Informatics i travelled for 8 months in Australia, New Zealand an Thailand.At the moment I'm working as a software developer at Achmea and live together with my girlfriend Maud and our dog Akuma. More information about me you can find at my resume page that is coming soon.

I made this website because my girlfriend and i love to travel around the world. Australia is one of our favourite holiday destinations of all. Why is Australia so great...

  • Australia is a natural wonderland of beautiful beaches, crystal blue waters, amazing ancient rock formations and pristine rainforests.
  • Australia is the sixth largest country in the world and has the lowest population density per square kilometre.
  • Australia has 16 world heritage listed properties with its historic townships, bustling cities, vivid landscapes and exotic flora and fauna all adding to its unique appeal.
  • Much of Australia's exotic flora and fauna cannot be found anywhere else in the world and the lifestyle is one second to none.

These are just a few examples that made us fall in love with this cool country. Check the gallery to see some nice pictures of Australia.
