Thijs's mood board

Dunes: a constant in my life as a rooted Haarlemmer

Reading: everything! Started when I was four. Never stopped

Top-notch humor. Laughter level 10. Pure nostalgia

Distant journeys: what I do it all for

Weather enthusiast: weather is different from climate

La Palma, Upolu, Dharanvandhoo. Islands are the best

Tulikivi soapstone stove: the hotter, the better

Van Kooten and De Bie: I still miss "de keek" every Sunday evening

Water polo at DWT: teamwork, energy and lots of fun. For 35 years already

Kakhiel: often too silly for words and that's exactly why it's so much fun

Google Street View: getting lost without having set out

Swimming: covering distance in open water
