Hi! I'm Ruud, I am 22 years old and I am from Holland. I live in a small town, 20km from Amsterdam, the kind of town where everyone knows each other.

Last week I bought a house in Amsterdam, so in a few months I will be living there. I am looking forward to the move because I love Amsterdam -- all the little cafes, restaurants, but most of all, the variety of nationalities. At night, you can go for a walk and street musicians are performing everywhere throughout town -- I love that!

From the age of 16, I have been working as a plumber and last year I decided that it was time for a change. I packed my backpack and went to Australia, where I stayed for one year. That was the best year of my life, all the freedom you have there is incredible.

I have travelled through Australia, the East Coast, West Coast, deserts all over the world. The same amount of people we have in Holland are living in Australia, but the country is more than 200 times bigger so it was unbelievable to drive for 5 hours and not see a single person. I swam with dolphins with nobody around, just the sea, the dolphins and me. For a small period of time, I did some work at a farm, picking tomatoes, then I decided to go on to some other work. I decided to try modelling. I found a nice modelling agency and followed a course on how to present yourself to clients and how to walk on the catwalk.

When I returned to Holland I went to some modelling agencies in Amsterdam, but it did not work out very well due to the competition, but I will keep on trying.

Well, if you want to send me an e-mail, I would love to hear from you. I always appreciate your feedback and will try to answer all.
