● Resources for aidworkers
● News sites specialized in aid, humanitarian work and nonprofit causes
● Expats, travellers, adventurers and people with their heart in the right place, you can find here
Other interesting blogs to add? Let me know!

My Inspiration
 Check out the videos clips that inspired me over the past years: Videos about aid work and advocacy. |
 Music always was a main source of inspiration for me. This is a list of my all time favourites. |
 Here is a selection of my favourite books, or browse through my library. I frequently comment on books I read. |
 Travelling makes me wiser. All the pictures I collect along the Road of Life, I store in my Flickr library. |
 I collect, scan, read, browse, absorb, digest and discuss news topics to learn, understand and broaden my views. |
About Me
 Peter. Flemish, European, aid worker, expeditioner, sailor, traveller, husband, father, friend, nutcase. Not necessarily in that order. |
