AS LIGHTNING STRIKES

Thank you for using the links and welcome to my personal blog As Lightning Strikes! For the last few years, I used this website for multiple reasons, but the main one is simply writing about the things I love.

My name is Emiel, and I’m the writer of all the blogs on this site. I’m a graduated graphic designer and marketer with a passion for writing. As Lightning Strikes started out as my portfolio site to promote my work as a graphic designer. Over time the website became more of a blog on which I wrote about music, concerts and travelling.

Over the years, the blog became my passion and a space to express myself. This page is filled with links to get you going on some of the blogs I wrote.
