About Me
Joris
Welcome to ADrayInTheLife! By any normal standard, I am an intensely analytical person. I need to understand and to be able to make sense of the world around me. And that’s the beauty of traveling, it’s a never-ending opportunity to explore the unknown. To me, understanding doesn’t come from the swarms of tourists at the top-rated site in each city but rather from immersing yourself in an experience, to visit a place as if you were living there, to see it through the eyes of a local. I certainly don’t have all the answers but I’m loaded with questions and my own best guesses. So this is my platform… consider it a travel blog for the inquisitive mind.
