Hello there and welcome to my blog. Yes, I’m a blogger, one of the approximately 10 million “millennial snowflakes” who think their stories and thoughts are interesting enough to dedicate an entire site to it. *boomer noises incoming*
All jokes aside, I primarily use this blog to share my travel tips. I’m an Online Editor for a Dutch Television show and I want to share my travel tips & tricks and my own travel stories on here. Mexico, Sri Lanka, Morocco and a ton of places in Southern Europe are the main spots I’ve been writing about. If you want to read my travel tips and stories, go to my Travel blog. Go to my Shutterstock page to check out my professional travel photography portfolio.
If you wish to know more about who I am and about my background, you can read that here and get acquainted with me. I also have a personal blog. Although I rarely post on here, you can still pay it a visit and read some of the articles here on Sem’s Log.
And then there’s also my Instagram page (@sembergmantravels), my YouTube Channel on which I upload occasional performances of me and some surf themed rock songs (#bangers) on Spotify with my music project “Bonafide Clyde” to discover. Enjoy!
