rubenkoops.com is my freelance business. I love to cover big news events like the UN climate conference COP15 in Copenhagen, or the Nuclear Security Summit in DC. I'm also very experienced in reporting in and from the US, for a range of Dutch broadcast and print media. (BNR Nieuwsradio, Volkskrant, Radio2, Reformatorisch Dagblad)

Currently I enjoy a full time pay roll position with De Telegraaf, the biggest Dutch daily. I cover day to day politics, focussed on legislation that involves healthcare or education.

The Amish community in Pennsylvania is my speciality, I visit my Amish friends as much as possible. As an expert on this topic, I did several appearances with national broadcasters like De Wereld Draait Door, BNN Today and OnTopic. I am also quoted in a Volkskrant feature story and several travel magazines on this subject.
