“Eindelijk!” denk ik bij mezelf. “De nieuwe generatie ontwaakt!”
De jeugd geeft duidelijk om meer dan alleen games en Netflix. Ze willen verandering!
Vijfendertigduizend stemmen schudden mijn creatieve en idealistisch zieltje weer wakker.
Honden van het Beekpark
Honden zijn sociale beestjes. Net als ons hebben ze sociaal contact nodig om zich goed te voelen. Op een hondenweide kunnen onze trouwe viervoeters voor een keertje gewoon zichzelf zijn en spelen.
Daarom lanceren we een nieuwe Facebook-groep: “Honden van het Beekpark”.
Laten we een snuffel-community bouwen voor de honden van Nijlen!
Wie weet leren de baasjes elkaar ook wat beter kennen!
En vanaf nu… in het Nederlands!
Jullie lezen dat goed: we verruilen Engels voor Nederlands.
Vind je dat leuk? Of ben je nu eerder wat teleurgesteld? Het zij zo. Als er iets is dat ik in het leven heb geleerd, is het dat je nooit iedereen tevreden kan stellen.
Vanwaar de plotse ommezwaai?
Een blog beginnen is één van de beste beslissingen die ik ooit heb gemaakt. Het was de ideale uitlaatklep tijdens een grillige periode in mijn leven. Bovendien heb ik dankzij NoMoreMovies mijn passie voor schrijven en fotograferen (her)ontdekt.
Ik voel nu dat ik klaar ben voor een nieuw hoofdstuk.
My very last post… in English
That’s right: I decided to switch to Dutch – my native language – from now. I suppose you are a bit disappointed? What can I say? If there’s one thing I learned in life it’s that you cannot please everyone.
Why switch?
Starting this blog was one of the best decisions ever. It was the ideal outlet during an unsteady phase of my life. Besides, thanks to NoMoreMovies I (re)discovered my passion for writing and photography.
Now I feel I am ready for the next chapter.
President Trump
NoMoreMovies aims to be a non-political blog but let’s face it: there’s no way around the Donald J. Trump phenomenon. Time magazine’s person of the year keeps grabbing news headlines by the p*ssy on a daily basis.
Although I disagree with most of what he says, I will not turn NoMoreMovies into an anti-Trump blog. There are way more interesting people to write about. People who are changing our world for the better as we speak: Bill & Melinda Gates, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to name just a few.
That said, I am intrigued by how someone like Trump managed to get the keys to the White House in the first place.
So I decided to write a handful of pieces on the leader of the greatest movement the world has ever seen*.

A big thank you!
… for making December the most successful month for Nomoremovies. Now that 2016 lies behind us, it’s time to reflect on the first six months of my little blog project.
Interested in some facts and figures? Lucky you! From the number of blog visitors to the number of views on YouTube… it’s all here… no secrets! I also want to thank you – my dear readers – for your early support. Putting yourself “out there” can be a bit intimidating, I consider myself lucky for getting nothing but love, compliments and encouraging words in return.
And in all honesty, we are only getting warmed up for 2017! 😉
Insert coin(s) to give back!
What do YOU do with small change?
I’m talking about coins of 1, 2 and 5 euro cents. Whenever you pay with cash, they just keep on piling up. Do you hang on to them, hoping they will come in handy when buying bread from a vending machine? Mind you, even those refuse the smaller coins.
Most likely you are like me and Sofie and keep them in a piggy bank, a box or a “decorative” bottle, assured that one day you will find a good use for them.
Well, I’m here to tell you that day has come! We found the PERFECT use for them, read on!

Meet the Finns
I assume Helsinki is the most densely populated area of Finland, but even here the streets are nowhere as crowded as in London, Brussels or Firenze to name a few. This may have something to do with the temperature but I have to keep reminding myself it’s october already, so holiday season is over.
Still, even if there were a lot more Finns on the streets, I doubt you would notice. At first they seem silent and private but as soon as you talk to them, they tend to be very open, humorous and kind. In short, they are my kind of people.
