About Keith

I'm Keith, a thirty-something living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. For a decade I had a very successful career as a relationship management specialist in corporate banking; as an analyst in investment banking; and an investment proposal specialist in the asset management world. Like many, despite my success, my career had begun to feel empty. Through circumstances I was able to leave and take time for myself, never anticipating that the recent collapse of the financial sector would end my chosen career. Not one to allow circumstances to get me down for long, I have created an entirely new career for myself, following my passions for travel and writing in a way that I'd never realised was possible before. 'Velvet' is the context I've chosen for my new ventures: soft, plush, rich ...some would say sexy. When you run your hand over velvet you know there is a certain depth and richness to it; you know you are alive.

About Velvet Escape

Travel is my biggest passion and I’ve travelled extensively around the world. To me, travel is an opportunity to truly unwind, enjoy the different rhythm and to explore new places and cultures. It is also about meeting the locals and fellow travellers, and sharing views, ideas and experiences. In this sense, Velvet Escape is about getting away from our daily routines & exploring, being adventurous, reflecting & doing it in style. My aim with the Velvet Escape blog is to convey my enthusiasm about the places I've visited through my experiences. I hope to inspire people to travel, to stimulate their curiosity about the world we live in and foster an open mind that is receptive to different perspectives and new ideas, as well as create a greater awareness of the environment. The site was launched in December 2008

History of the blog
The Velvet Escape blog was launched in December 2008 as a platform to express my two passions: travelling and writing. After several months, it caught the attention of the likes of Lonely Planet and Nat Geo Travel, and readership of the blog grew in leaps and bounds. The Velvet Escape blog currently receives thousands of visitors every month from more than 100 countries around the world.
