And to be more particular, hello from the land of cheese (can't stand the smell or taste to be honest), wooden clogs (never seen anyone actually wearing them), windmills and tulip fields... You probably guessed it, I'm talking about Holland.

I'm in my late twenties and been diagnosed with AS and social anxiety about a year ago. My special interests is cameras - I also collect them - and I'm a filmmaker, photographer, editor and (3D) graphic designer. So anything visual really and I keep switching between them every few days. I loose interest quickly, so this kinda helps me to keep my focus and attention.

I'm trying hard to overcome my anxiety issues, whilst putting my "talents" to good use. No luck so far, but I'm not giving up just yet!

Anyways, nice meeting you. :)

Hi from Australia.

I have been to the Netherlands a few times - mostly the south-east. I liked it.

Learning to manage anxiety is useful for the rest of your life. I still practise anxiety-management skills that I learned from a psychologist.

I've also been getting help on the anxiety department (therapy and medication). Things are slowly starting to improve, but still a long road ahead.
Very nice that you've paid NL a visit. :) Must have been quite a long flight! Would like to be able to travel more myself in the future.

Hello from Indiana, land of now harvested cornfields and bare trees. Thanksgiving is coming, and all my kids will be home.
