My life has been filled with travelling and exploring since I was little, but sadly, I don’t remember the first big trip since I was only three. It must have been a fabulous round-the-world ship journey, which included passing through both the Suez and Panama Canals.

I've been working in the Gulf for a while developing new museums, and it's been a real adventure, during which time I have gotten to know many locals, and learned much about their lives, their land and their culture.

Let me share with you my Gulf stories on my tour of Sharjah in the UAE

Having been born in Australia, I am also lucky enough to have dual citizenship, thanks to my parents who migrated there from the Netherlands. I’m told that I speak Dutch with an Australian accent and use strange old-fashioned words that emanate from Twente in the east of the Netherlands (my parent’s original base) – but I don’t believe it. It all sounds perfectly fine to me.
