Eindhoven as news item in The NEW YORK TIMES article
I started this homepage at VT when i was looking for travelinfo about Ukraine in 2000. I began to read and became an active member . It was a great oppurtunity to make my own travelpages. Since then I try to update as much as possible.
I was a chatmoderator for about 1 year and i made many friends through this chat:-)
Iam born in Eindhoven, grew up in Woensel West, Strijp and now i live at district Gestel.
My roots from my fathers familytree:
Wilhelmus Goorts van de Vorst ° 1663 - (Nl) x Maria Peeters-stamovergrootouders
Iam half Dutch, half Ukrainian , because my father was born at Eindhoven (Strijp) and my mam at Morshin (Striy) Ukraine
Lets hope that 2005 will be a better year without disasters like in East Asia

Merci Carin for your Birthday wishes! Greetings from the Swiss Alps! Patrick
Hello Carin, I am happy to see that you are still with Virtual Tourist. Many have left. I still enjoy reading the travels of others and see the wonderful photos they post. Trust that God has blessed you and that you are happy and content. Life is to live. Enjoy every moment we are given. My best wishes for you. Larry
I’ve just posted the VT MEET IN PARIS 21st and 22nd June 2012
21st June (the longest day of the year) for the Fete de la Musique.
This FREE event is not to be missed and you should expect music, dance, local food and many drinks along the way all night long.
Join me also on Friday 22nd June, to continue in the same rhythm – picnic and dancing along the river.
Time and place for both meets TBA.
Hope you can come
Svetlana Bellon (parisforless)
