As a child she lived on a farm in this remote and sparsely populated area. She studied Economics (with honors) at the University of Amsterdam. After her studies she worked as a consultant at Ernst & Young and later on as a manager in the non-profit sector. Her motto?‘Writing together? We should have started much earlier.’Junte Lohman was born as the son of a painter, and grew up in a small forester’s cottage, together with his elder brother.

Even though they successfully build a new life for themselves in California, the events in Holland hunt them for the rest of their lives. This novel emphasizes the cultural bonds between the US and Holland. It is recommended by the Dutch television celebrity Anita Witzier: ‘Getekend’ is a stunning book….

They traveled 20,000 miles through 30 states. Both travel books were published as multimedial eBooks, with numerous links to useful websites and YouTube videos.
