My WorldSupportership (CV)

Help & Change: 
Ik ga in de herfstvakantie met 19 klasgenoten naar Zuid-Afrika met de organisatie Worldmapping. We zijn nu druk bezig om geld op te halen voor onze reis om daar vrijwilligerswerk te doen.
We hebben o.a gebruik gemaakt van Koningsdag, hebben een loterij georganiseerd en zijn verder nog druk bezig met andere projecten.
Travel & Move: 
Ik heb nog nooit echt oog in oog gestaan met ernstige armoede.
Het heftigste wat ik heb gezien was tijdens een boottrip in Thailand, waar je een super mooi, groot en chique huis naast een golfplaten hutje zag staan. Dat was een groot contrast. Ik hoop in Zuid-Afrika nog meer ervaringen op te doen.
Learn & Develop: 
We maken de reis naar Zuid-Afrika in samenwerking met school en Worldmapping.
Work & Initiate: 
Ik werk helaas nog niet.
Experience & Leisure: 
Ik vind het altijd leuk om films over andere landen te kijken.
Je kunt er natuurlijk over lezen, maar dan krijg je er niet echt een beeld bij, of je maakt zelf een beeld in je hoofd wat niet helemaal klopt.

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel to a beach destination?

  • December / January
  • February / March
  • April / May
  • October / November

December / January

  • Egypt: the coast is only really warm in the southernmost part. In the southern part along the Nile the temperature never drops below 23 degrees. The Red Sea area including Eilat is slightly less sunny.
  • Canary Islands: the average temperature is just above 20 degrees. The sun only starts shining properly in March.
  • Florida: the temperature is around 23 degrees, there are as many as six to seven rainy days these months.

  • Kenya
  • South Africa: around Cape Town

Where's the best place to go if you want a weekend getaway abroad (departure Europe)?

  • While in the past you could only go to Antwerp, Brussels, London or Paris for an affordable weekend getaway, these days Nice, Barcelona, Rome, Budapest, Vienna and Istanbul are also among the affordable, and feasible options. Even it is no longer unthinkable to fly to New York for a weekend bit jet lag!)
  • Also consider Marrakesh, Seville, Malaga, ....

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel for a week to ten days (departure Europe)?

  • These days it is increasingly easy to choose a destination far away even for short vacations: taking the car to Italy to go skiing takes as long as a flight to Thailand. Moreover, because of the many new impressions you gain during that time, and the certainty of heat or sun, the return on a short, distant vacation can be a lot higher. In addition, cheap, short vacations to Mediterranean and Canary Island countries have increased dramatically. The danger with these latter vacations is that you go at a time when the water is still freezing cold, the temperature is disappointing or the rain is pouring down.
  • Taking into account the possibilities of seeing a lot in a short time and traveling little, the flight time and the temperatures, you will get an overview of the best destinations for the “short” vacation below:

Top:

  • Madeira (hiking/diving/eating) - Dahab/Sinai in Egypt (snorkeling/diving/beaches) - Malta - Jordan - Cape Verde Islands - The “green” Caribbean islands like Guadeloupe, St. Lucia and Martinique

Tip:

  • Azores (archipelago west of Portugal) - Maldives (if you need rest or like diving or snorkeling) - Zanzibar - Jamaica - Seychelles - Mauritius - Israel (in quiet times)

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel for two weeks ?

Top:

  • Yucatan (East Mexico) - Southern Thailand - Zanzibar and Pemba - Fiji - Cuba - Senegal - Jordan - Costa Rica - East Coast Malaysia - South Africa (East or West) - Ghana - Sri Lanka

Tip:

  • Kerala (South India) - Reunion (green French-speaking paradise) - Comoros (Island group between Madagascar and Mozambique) - São Tomé (island west of Central Africa) - Iran - Oman - Panama - Cape Verde Islands - Benin - East coast of China - Goa and Hampi (South West India) - Vancouver and environs

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel away for three weeks?

The ideal time for exploring a country or part of a somewhat larger country is three to four weeks. Even world travelers usually don't spend much longer in the same area. In that time you can both travel around, visit cities and rest for a while. Do try to pick destinations where you don't have to travel three days to get from one highlight to the next.

Top:

  • Nepal - Sri Lanka (with or without the Maldives) - Zanzibar and other Tanzania - Malawi - Bolivia -Peru - Ecuador - Southern China - Southern Philippines - Northern Brazil - Panama and Costa Rica - Northeast Australia - Laos - Trans-Siberia to Mongolia (fly back)

Tip:

  • Darjeeling and Sikkim (Northeast India) -Sulawesi - Eastern islands of Indonesia - Mali and Burkina Faso -Ethiopia - Cameroon -North Argentina - Sumatra -Kerala and Tamil Nadu (South India) -Guatemala and Honduras - Alaska

Where's the best place to go if you want to travel for four weeks?

Top:

  • Laos and Cambodia -Tibet and Southwest China or Nepal - Combination between Peru and/or Bolivia/Ecuador -North and South India -Kenya and Tanzania -Ecuador and the Galápagos -Madagascar -Trans-Siberia to China (fly back)

Tip:

  • Mayan Route (Yucatan/Guatemala/Belize) - Northern India and the Himalayan region - Argentina and Chile -South Africa (West and East) - Route 66

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel for a few months to a year?

  • How long should your world trip be? Do you need a year, or is a month or four enough? Of course, this depends largely on your itinerary and your budget. In practice, hardly anyone manages to make a real world trip in a year. Often whole continents have to be skipped in order not to run out of time or money.
  • Anyone who wants to make a trip from Australia through Southeast Asia to India and/or China can basically do it in three to five months. You will then be in a country almost as long as most other world travelers who also have other continents on their schedule.
  • When you skip expensive countries like Australia, New Zealand, the U.S. and some South American countries, it is a lot more financially attractive to go for a year instead of a few months. After all, your biggest expense, the flight, is already done by then.
  • The advantage of going away for a year is that you can totally rearrange your itineraries and stay in one place for a long time more easily without throwing your schedules into too much disarray.

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel for three to four months?

Top:

  • Around Southeast Asia - South and East Africa or Madagascar - India, Nepal and Tibet, Trans-Siberia and China - Around the Andes (Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador)

Tip:

  • Hippie route (overland to India) - Pan-American highway: Mexico to Panama - around the Middle East - simple “Round-the-World”
  • Backpacking and traveling around the world

Where's the best place to go if you want to travel for six to eight months?

Top:

  • Round Southeast Asia with India/China/Myanmar (Burma) - Madagascar and Southeast Africa -, Trans-Siberia + China and Southeast Asia

Tip:

  • Gringo Trail in South America, hippie route with Southeast Asia - a mean “Round-the-World”
  • Backpacking and traveling around the world

Where's the best place to go if you want to travel for nine to 12 months

Top:

  • Round Southeast Asia -India and or China and Australia and/or New Zealand - Africa overland (Tip: hippie itinerary with Southeast Asia and Australia - an extended 'Round-the-World'

Tip:

  • Trans-Siberia / China / Southeast Asia / Australia - the Silk Route

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year

What is Chinese New Year?

Chinese New Year is one of the all-important Chinese holidays! Most Chinese people go home to celebrate this day together with family. The Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. The celebration starts well with paying off debts, a clean house and new clothes. The Chinese New Year is full of fireworks, dragon and lion dances.

The Chinese New Year begins every year between January 21 and February 20. If you are going to travel, during this period then it is helpful to make reservations because it can be crowded. All people in China have time off then.

What is the Chinese zodiac?

Instead of months, the Chinese zodiac is based on the year of birth. Each year is related to an animal sign according to a 12-year cycle. The 12 animals are in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

Why are the animals in this order? According to a myth, the Jade Emperor said that the order is the order of arrival at the Jade Emperor's feast. The Ox had left the night before and would be first. The Tiger would arrive early the next morning and be second. The Rat had sneaked up on the Os and jumped off the Os when he caught sight of the Jade Emperor. This put the Ox and Tiger in second and third place. The fourth to arrive was the Rabbit, who is named as “proud - even a tad arrogant - of his speed. When the Rabbit arrived at the party, no one was there yet, so he decided to take a nap and came in fourth.

Chinese new year and the year of the Wooden Dragon?

In 2024-2025, it is the year of the Wooden Dragon! The Dragon is known as a powerful symbol in Chinese culture. It is the only mythical animal in the Chinese zodiac and is often associated with luck, power and charisma. Wood represents nature, growth, expansion and renewal. Combined with the Dragon, which stands for strength and vitality. This may start to be a year of development. Progress with new initiatives, start-ups, technological innovations and sustainability innovations. It is the year of action! This applies specifically to the Dragon. You are Dragon if you were born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 or you will be born next year.

Chinese new year and the year of the Wooden Serpent?

In 2025-2026, it is the year of the Wooden Serpent! The Serpent is known to be mysterious and subtle. The Serpent brings an elegant and sophisticated influence. The Serpent is known for wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity. Snakes are also characterized by luck, abundance, fertility and long life. Snakes shed their skin and renew themselves, representing rebirth and transformation. Snakes are also known for their negatives such as deception, jealousy and temptation. Snakes are enemies of the Dragon and Tiger. Snakes can be poisonous and their bite can lead to death. You are Snake if you were born in: 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 and 2025. The 2025 Wooden Snake is charming, intelligent and creative, as well as secretive and sometimes reckless. The year of the Wooden Serpent is going to be a year full of potential, innovation and possibilities. Use the positive sides of the Serpent, wisdom and intuition.

We ARE the world

Als laatste inspiratiebron heb ik gekozen voor het lied We Are The World. Er zijn meerder versies uitgebracht, een die iets ouder is en een die wat recenter is.
