Martien de Wilt's Blog

This is such an exciting concept. 

I have my own blog finally! Let’s start with the basics. My name is Martien de Wilt and I’m from the amazing city of Amsterdam. I was born and raised in The Netherlands and love all that there is to do here. I’m blessed to have grown up with a loving family who all live close to me.

I’ve been so busy with my career since as long as I can remember that I haven’t had much time to focus on romance. That leaves me completely single. Some people stay single because they don’t want to get into a relationship. That’s not true with me. I’m certainly interested in dating and, eventually, settling down with a wife and a family. However, I’m not exactly putting myself out on the dating scene just yet, either. Hopefully, I’ll be doing that soon.

For work. 

I’m a freelance graphic designer. I’ve been doing this for about three years and love everything about it. I enjoy being creative and using my talents to create print and web designs for clients around the world. Prior to being freelance, I worked for a Dutch Forex company, which included creating a professional trading platform for them. I was there for six years and had a lot of fun working with them. It was time, though, that I moved on. I wanted the freedom to work for myself.
Freelance work has its challenges. However, for the most part, I love everything about it. I enjoy working with a wide array of clients in many different industries. I have worked with online casino companies, including LeoVegas Casino, as well as quite a few others.
I enjoy trying new things. I will often go out of my comfort zone just to be able to see whether I like something or not. This goes for working with different clients, too. I never thought that I would work with online casinos after working with Forex. However, I love everything about the casinos, including the excitement offered by video slots.

One thing that many people are surprised to learn about me

Is that I’ve never traveled outside of The Netherlands. Although I know people from around the world, I simply haven’t done a lot of traveling. There’s so much to do within the 12 provinces of The Netherlands that I don’t need to go anywhere else. Though, I do find the idea of traveling the world exciting. It’s something that is on my bucket list, so I’ll get to it at some point. I’m hoping that over the next year, I can do a bit more traveling. I think it’s important to branch out and try new things.

I’m passionate about a lot of things in life. I am ambitious and stop at nothing to get what I want. This has led me to pursue a college degree as well as attend a variety of workshops, online and in-person. I’m extremely sociable and enjoy going out with my friends on a regular basis. Many of my friends have freelance careers, too, so it’s something that we’re all able to connect over.

I’m also a foodie.

I love to try new foods, which is another reason that I’d like to travel. Luckily, Amsterdam has an amazing food scene. I must admit that Stroopwafel is one of my favorite foods, especially when I can eat them with a cup of hot tea. I also love herring, which is something that is local to where I am in The Netherlands. Some new restaurants have opened up nearby, so I’ve been able to try Indian food, British fare, and food from other parts of the country. Soon, I hope to teach myself how to cook a bit better so that I can become more adventurous with food.

Well, that’s me in a nutshell.

I’m an easygoing guy who loves Amsterdam and what he does for a living. I’ll be posting to my blog regularly, so you can learn a little bit more about me. If you want to find out more about who I am or want to hire me for graphic design work, shoot me an email. I’d love the opportunity to connect with more people.

Embracing the Fun of Online Casinos

When I turned 18, I decided to visit a casino in The Netherlands with some friends. There are actually quite a few great casinos in Holland, especially in the Leidseplein district. The moment that I walked inside, I knew it was a place that I was going to like. The lights, the sounds, and the games all drew me in. I love slot machines. I
