All about me

On a personal note

As you probably already figured out I'm Nick van Huijkelom, I live in Breda and I love to be active outdoors. However, those who know me a little better also know that I'm creative and that I like to tinker with technical stuff. Of course it's important to relief stress from time to time and I always enjoy the occasional festival or beer tasting event.

Enough boring text for now. In the past years we have trained our brains to give a dopamine kick from scrolling so I'll let the visuals do the rest of the work and tell my story.

Things that interest me

Motorcycle riding

Riding the motor cycle brings a feeling of freedom. Being one with the machine. Heading towards adventure. Being the master over the machine and taming all that horse power is just a mighty sensation.

Bouldering

This is where strength, balance and precision come together. Your body is capable of so much more than you think and it's amazing to outperform yourself.

Photography

I don't like to think in boxes, that doesn't fit in my thinking pattern. However when you view the world through the camera, everything around you changes. You see things in a different perspective and a whole new dimension opens before your eyes.

Hiking

There is just so much beauty in the world. Being one with nature and getting away from the hectical day to day life brings piece to mind. Exploring the world by foot allows you to discover places otherwice inaccessible.

Growing pepper plants

There's nothing more beautiful than having a hobby which requires you to be patient and caring. Having plants in the house is good for your healt and I also like spicy food, so this makes a perfect combination.
