: About Me

I was born on the French/Dutch island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. I had a Dutch mother and a French father, went to Dutch school, and speak Dutch, English and French.

Saint Martin seems to be quite well known these years as a major Caribbean tourist destination, along with the other islands.

I am a translator by profession who would also like to be a writer and have now had two articles published on Helium and have sold one children's story many years ago, and then did no more writing for a long time.

However, now that I have found Helium I have written 16 wrticle so far with many more in the pipeline. I am interested in almost every one of the Helium channel, even though I am not a scientist, I can however write about the layman part of science.

I will also be writing on the other Caribbean islands, in order to cover the whole area.

One thing we may accept, however, is that there are many more people on earth in our days than there were before. At least as far as we know. There my be things on earth that we simply do not see because we have never seen them for what they really are. But what has caused this so-called population explosion? The growth of the birth rate or the low...
