I studied English Literature at University, then stumbled into "corporate life". This brought 20 years of working in international environments, with 4 years in Vienna and 8 in Amsterdam. Needing fresh energy, I left my job in 2009 to re-discover my passions for writing and travel. 100,000 km and 23 countries of world travel later, I am starting my own publishing company called DJB Pubs. My vision is to create a new brand of books named The Essence™ and my first book, titled "Amsterdam... The Essence" is now complete.
