OUR World, my place!!!

How it all started.

Sssssst!
Bonjour a tous et bienvenu a mon VT Homepage.
Hallo iedereen en welkom op mijn VT Homepage.
Olá para todos e bem vindos ŕ minha VT home page.
Salam bar hamegi va be safheye VT e man khosh oomadin
Apa kabar teman-teman, Selamat jumpa di VT Pages saya.
Marhaban, Wa Ahlan Wa Sahaln Bikom Fi Safahat VT.
Salam sejahtera wahai sekalian. Selamat datang ke pagina VT saya
Hola a todos y bienvenidos a mi pagina de VT!
Ciao a tutti e benvenuti nella mia VT Homepage!
Hello everybody and welcome at my VT Homepage.

Here you'll find a few European places, but mainly African destinations and Belgian ECO-Hotspots.
(nature reserves, wildlife reserves, forest reserves,The Belgian Serengeti, etc..).
So when you're interested in consuming culture or city trips, you're at the wrong address.
There're other VT members with magnificent and accurate Belgium pages.
But when you're planning a walking vacation in Belgium's most tranquil and green areas.
THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!
I was nine years old when Toto had the number one hit 'Africa".
At that time I didn't understand that much English, but it was such a fantastic and fascinating song.
Someone who blessed the rains in Africa, why are they so different than the Belgian rains?
Several years ago started the journey southwards , I did some research and found the perfect destination
CAMEROON II
I arranged my visa, packed my backpack and let my doctor inject all the necessary vaccinations.
I went to the airport and left with the intention to travel, explore and enjoy the African way of life.
It was my first big journey, but it changed my life drastically. I was impressed and fascinated by the African continent, I always return.
When you're also interested in some of these destinations and you've got a question just ask it.
I'll help you where I'm able.

GREETZ
Ian Vandingelen

AFRICA

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Toto

TRAVEL TIP

When you've got the opportunity to combine your traveling with some jobs as an eco-volunteer.
YOU SHOULD DO IT.
- You'll come at places that no other travelers will see.
- Your chances to spot the local wildlife increase with 50 percent
- It will lower your costs.
- You'll meet very interesting people, with the same thoughts and ideas as you and those you won't meet as a tourist.

THESE ARE REASONS ENOUGH TO CONSIDER IT..
