I started blogging when I went on an exchange to Denmark for my study in Marketing and Sales. At the time travel blogs started to get really big. A lot of my friends did it to share their travel experiences with friends and family. Since I was not really traveling, I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with the world on marijkewijnands.waarbenjij.nu/. 

I always had a thing for writing and reading. I wanted to do more with this: become a writer or a journalist. Especially after the blog I knew that a career in Content Marketing / Writing would be perfect for me. Combine my passion with my studies. From that moment on I picked all the possibilities I could get to gain more experience. I worked as a Marketing Intern for Front Runner and The Body Shop.

After graduating I started a Premaster in Marketing. I tried really hard, but it was not for me. Statistics really killed me. After 6 months of fulltime struggles, I realized it wasn’t for me. It wouldn’t make a huge difference in the career I had planned for myself. Eventually I started working as Marketing assistant and eventually got promoted to Content and SEO specialist. Next to that I also worked on blogs for Wehague.nl and haagsefoodie.nl. Here I got to know my knew environment and shared the best places for food and theatre.
