The purpose of my travel is to photograph animals. The last few years I have planned trips especially to photograph certain animals.

In December I'm planning to go and try to photograph the Iberian lynxes in Spain and in January I will go to Costa Rica. That country has always been on top of my bucket list.

I have always been crazy about animals and their behavior. And for a few years, I have also photographed them. I still want to photograph penguin chicks in Antarctica, that’s my dream. It’s very expensive to go there, but I hope someday I can make this trip.

Sometimes you need a lot of patience when photographing animals and you don’t always succeed. Sometimes you have to go back several times to the same place to try to take pictures again. As I mentioned, I spent 8 hours photographing in order to get this one perfect picture of a superman squirrel. You should never lose hope.

Sometimes, when it's the rutting season of the red deer, I go to National Park De Hoge Veluwe in the Netherlands. You can photograph them very well in the afternoon there.

In The Netherlands, we also have many red foxes, especially in the dunes at the coast and at industrial areas at the Dutch coast.
