Let’s start blogging again

I know it has been a while that I posted something on my blog,
but I’ve been so busy the last couple of months.

I finished my internship, had some exams, finished some other tasks, gone on some beautiful trips.
I’ve been to Corsica, Dubai, South Africa, Zimbabwe/Victoria falls, Botswana/Okavango delta and many more. I will talk about those trips through “throwback” posts. So I could post from now on and keep the blog back up-to-date.

 

The same for my USA trip, I will update those posts later on and talk about all the things I have done while I was there, through throwback posts.

 

Another big step I’ve made in the meantime is that I started working again. Since the end of September I’ve become the new business development manager of the Benelux team of Adsimilis. (part of DQNA Media Group). I’ll say more about that in another post.

I will start by posting the things what I’m doing in real time, and later when I have found some additional time, I will update all the things I have done in the past. Otherwise I will keep on delaying posting posts, because I’ve haven’t found the time to update the “bigger” posts ☺.

 

Thanks in advance for reading my blog and I hope you enjoy it.

Had a fight in the office

This is what happened.

Jan Martens, my cousin arrived in Los Angeles.

Because it was a long trip for him as well,
we planned on having a relaxed day.

First we went to my workplace,
so they could meet my colleagues and see where I work.

But from the moment we entered the floor,
Jan wanted to fight me.

After he won fighting with the Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots,
they found other things to play with, a soccer table, the game room, a ping pong table, …

But they had the most fun,
spinning around in the lounge chairs.

it was time to chill at the beach.

The LA office

First some extra information.

So I’m doing an internship at DQ&A and Adsimilis.
For extra information about the company, you can always visit their website: http://www.dqna.com/group/

I always wanted to do an international internship.
That’s why I’ve chosen to do 3 months of the internship in Los Angeles and one month in the Netherlands (at the Headquarters).

Furthermore , I thought it would be nice, that you could see the office in LA.
The place where I’m spending my weekdays.
So here are some pictures.
