Founder, Around the Globe

Erik van Erp is the founder of Around the Globe. What started as a personal blog during a trip in 2002 became one of the biggest active independent travel communities in the Netherlands. Erik, a traveling nomad himself, knows the needs of travellers. For over 10 years he uses his IT background to develop unique tools to provide support to travellers during their journey.

Erik is a speaker at travel conferences, universities and is one of the initiators of travelbloggers.nl. This platform where travelbloggers, online journalists, publishers and online magazines work together collaborate, amplify each other campaigns and share knowledge. Together with the travel industry they search for the best possible results, resources and possibilities to effectively create successful campaigns.
