Hi there Steemians! I'm Chris and since two weeks I'm back on Steemit. One year ago I have written some posts but this time I decided to take it more seriously. It's a big dream to share my adventures with others. I never got to properly introduce myself and now that I'm seriously starting my travel blog, I wanted to take another shot. July 10, me and Samira will launch our #chrisandsamtravels blog and we will share our adventures on Steemit!

Who am I?
My name is Chris de Jong, I'm Dutch, 22 years old and currently a Master Student specialized in Environmental Economics. I'm interested in many different things varying from economics, stock trading and policymaking to nature, extreme sports, travelling and writing. Name it and I will most likely have been interested in it. I mean... atleast for a day. For me it's easy to start something but it's often difficult to be consistent and keep up the work. I currently work as a freelance translator Dutch to English, I often visit the gym and love to spend time with my student house and at parties.
Borneo (2013)
In 2012, when I was 18 years old, I went to Borneo for 5 months! Borneo is world's second largest island. I went to the Indonesian provinces and worked as a volunteer in a children's village in the jungle. I got to see Orang Utans in wild, learned the basics of the Indonesian language and hiked up Mount Kinabalu (4,1km).
In September 2013 I started studying Economics and Policy at the Wageningen University, the Netherlands.
Bali, Indonesia (2014)
I went back to Indonesia and visited the island of Bali. A somewhat touristy place but full of magnificent places to visit. We hiked up Volcano Batur, managed to go diving twice and saw Manta Rays. I managed to pet some monkeys, went surfing over 5 times and I've been drinking quite some beers at the local Reggae parties which are hosted in the area around Kuta.
Lombok and Java (2015)
In December 2015 I went back to Indonesia for the third time. This time we went for one month. This trip felt like a rollercoaster. We visited the beautiful island of Lombok, the party island Gili Trawangan and Java with its enormous metropol city Jakarta, a variety of types of places. My plan was to go to Gili T, one of the touristic islands, to get my PADI (diving license). After 8 days I left the island with a big hangover WITHOUT Padi Diving License. Read one of my Gili T stories here!
Valencia (2016)
September 2016 untill February 2017 I went to Valencia in Spain. I studied Business and Administration but I mainly went to experience the beach and party life in Spain. We've spent most time on the beach, playing volleybal and going for a surf session. I managed to surf about 20 times (a big dream!!) and I finally got to surf my first clean waves sideways! We hosted some house parties and my friends and family came to visit me!
2017 Follow @chrisadventures!
With these exciting memories in the back of my mind, I'm fully prepared for next week. Samira and I will be flying to Kuala Lumpur on the 10th of July. I will also be visiting Thailand and Malaysia. We bought a new action cam and hope to share videos and photos. We're excited and we will definitely share our stories here, on Steemit!
