#KermisFM has been a tradition of mine for 13 consecutive times now. This year's edition has just come to an end and I'm glad I got to spend so much time with all these great people again. Nothing compares to the purple family! 💜

After all that talk about motorcycles this year, one could almost forget I have another #hobby: #radio.

On my way to #Tilburg now to help with the buildout of #KermisFM, the volunteer media outlet reporting on the enormous #tilburgsekermis fun fair taking over the city centre for the next few weeks.

The patented #Train Transportation Carrier is with me once again!

Here's a lovely (Dutch) portrait of #KermisFM by the @volkskrant newspaper in celebration of its 15th edition this year.

I've operated everything from a deep fryer to a vision mixer, and I can't wait to do it all again next year while seeing so many lovely colleagues from the industry.

#KermisFM: impossible to capture the vibe, but at least this aftermovie does a valiant attempt.

#KermisFM is a 10-day 100% volunteer-run media outlet covering the yearly #Tilburg fun fair.

Both the fun fair and Kermis FM are massive. The fun fair spans through the entire 4km city centre. Kermis FM runs a radio station, two TV channels, a website and a bunch of social media platforms with roughly 200 volunteers.

Absolute bonkers.

Last month marked my 12th consecutive annual summer tradition: #KermisFM. I couldn't have wished for a better summer holiday!
