WELCOME

My name is Pieter (Peter) van der Kwaak. I’m 90 years old and, thankfully, still active, and mentally alert. You can find out more about me here.

I began this blog three years ago, publishing short stories about my family and friends, my walks in Sandgate (in Queensland, Australia), and my travels around the world. Read my 100+ short stories here.
