Have you ever had the desire to just go out and see the world? Do you want to find travel inspiration? Do you enjoy reading about people’s adventures? Are you trying to learn from their mistakes so that you don’t make them? If the answer to any of these questions was yes, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to Ars Currendi!

What is Ars Currendi about?
I hear you. You’ve somehow stumbled upon this website with no idea what it’s all about. First of all, welcome! Secondly, here’s some explanation about what I do.
Ars Currendi is a place where I write blog posts about travelling.
These blog posts are split into two big categories: travel stories and travel tips.
If all you’re looking for is entertainment, my travel stories are the place to be. For example, you can read about how I got stuck in the snow in Spain, how I spent the perfect six days in Malta, how I had a mystery dinner in Osaka or how I made way too many mistakes on my first solo trip to Dublin. Spoiler alert: these stories include a lot of mistakes and cringe-worthy moments. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Solo travellers looking for ways to travel better and more efficiently or save some money would be better off taking a look at my travel-related tips. I have a miniseries of blog posts dedicated to teaching you how to travel alone and not spend a fortune, I have posts about how to be an Erasmus student and I can teach you how to build the perfect travel itinerary.
About me
Again, welcome to Ars Currendi! Allow me to tell you something about myself. My name is Sander. I was born in Belgium on a sunny Sunday morning. I’m a 20-something copywriter at an Antwerp-based communication agency.
I spend too much time on Twitter, I write blog posts about my travels and people always say that I look grumpy. Whenever I discover a new song I like, I’ll continuously listen to that song until I’m bored of it. The last thing I googled was whether or not penguins have knees (they do!)
I get really excited when I’m planning a trip, and I always share this excitement with everyone and anyone who is even remotely interested.
On my travels, I make mistakes. A lot of them. Nevertheless, I keep finding myself writing about those mistakes and creating stories about things that happened when I was on the road.
This blog is the result of all that writing. You can follow along whenever I take a trip, so you can find out what kind of mistakes I made (and how you can avoid them).

Where have I been?
Where I've Been
The map above shows every country I’ve been to and written one or more blog posts about (in red) and every country I plan on visiting soon (in blue). You can click the countries in red and you’ll be redirected to a page that shows all blog posts about that country. Read more on my “Where I’ve Been” page.
Travel videos
My blog posts aren’t the only way in which I share my travel experiences with anyone and everyone who bothers to listen. I also make a travel video of every single trip I take, which I share on my YouTube channel. You can also find these videos on my “Travel videos” page.
Thank you for taking a look here! Enjoy your stay and be sure to talk to me in the comment section 😉
