About Wout

Hey there! How nice that you take a look at my page and apparently love traveling as much as I do. My name is Wout and I am the creator of the travel show Wout of the World. Of course, this didn’t happen overnight. From an early age I looked forward to that exciting moment; my mother waking me up to go to the airport in the middle of the night. We’re going on holiday again! With a traveling mother from South Africa and a father who studied Russian and has now been living in U++ As soon as I was old enough, I wanted to go beyond Europe. See what there is to see on the other side of the world! My first long-distance travels went to the United States and Russia and with some friends I made an extensive road trip through Eastern Europe. In the summers I worked for a club on the Spanish coast and during my University years I spent six months on the tropical island Curaçao. In 2012 I made my first big trip and traveled alone from Beijing to Bangkok, followed by a trip to Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. At that time you could easily call my traveling an addiction. And just like with beer (I’m a real beer lover by the way), it tastes better and better and you want to taste as many new flavors as possible.

Traveling with my soulmate

During this time I met my soulmate and travel buddy Suus. Together we traveled to Mexico, new parts of Asia, Africa and a big trip through almost all countries of South America. Where the people around us saved for cars, houses, nice clothes, you name it; we actually wanted to get away as much and as far away as possible. It quickly became a goal of mine to visit all countries in my life and I still have enough time for that.

When did Wout of the World start? Well, I’ve always been waving the camera around a lot, but in 2015 I wanted to document this a bit more. The places we saw, nice tips, interesting facts and my personal perspectives; I put it all together and a travel TV show was created. The biggest difference with regular television shows, I found, is that my viewers were offered bite-sized journeys. My trips have always been accessible and cheap, and I challenge the viewer to discover the countries in that way. In 2016, Suus and I took the big step to travel the world for a year. The travel show opened new doors. Suddenly there was interest from all kinds of companies in the travel industry, large and small, in all countries and in very different ways. Moreover, we became more popular. Through Facebook we grew in no time into a page with thousands of followers and sometimes even a million views!

About Suus

Hello there! I am Suus, a world traveler at heart and I also carry a backpack full of work experience in the travel industry. I am together with Wout since 2011, married him in 2017 and became mother of our world wonders Jens and Céline in 2018 and 2023.

About twenty years ago I discovered that there was only one industry that I thought would be great to work in later: the travel industry. After two tourism studies and years of working in the travel industry, I can say proudly that I have the best job there is now! Together with Wout I work on our own travel show. Do you send us an email or a message via Instagram? Then it is quite likely that you will receive a response from me. I am responsible for managing our social media channels and websites. I am also the contact person for collaborations. Next to all of this, I am always busy with preparing our travels, ensuring that we have daily transport and a place to stay and a whole lot more behind the scenes. During our travels I can also call myself the woman behind the camera regularly. I like a diverse life and want to see as much of the world as possible. How special is it to be able to do this together with our family? In any case, turning your hobby into a job has been a dream come true for us!
