I’m going back to my roots. Its not just that I am visiting my family in Suriname, I am also returning to my journalistic roots. After a year of running multimedia projects, giving trainings and lecturing I can’t wait to write and be a journalist again.

Areas of interest
There is enough to write about but I mainly want to concentrate on ICTs and new media and its impact on the Guyanas. Tons is happening and I can assure you it is exciting (but keeping it a secret for now!). Other areas of interest are tourism and nature. I’ll also regularly publish stories on my personal blog (www.elviravannoort.nl/southamerica09).

Need a story, journalistic article, reportage?
If you are interested in a story or want a certain story to be written you are welcome to get in touch via the ‘Contact‘ page. It is possible to write the story in both Dutch and English. I also travel with a Nikon camera so it is possible for me to take photos. Because of my extensive network in South America it is also possible for me to work on stories with a professional photographer.

Travel timeline
The ‘Where is Elvira’ widget in the sidebar tells you where I will be. The time spend in each country depends on the work. However, I return to The Netherlands on 11 May.
