Only three years later he went on to become the youngest correspondent ever to be stationed in Washington D.C. for Dutch television. As its chief correspondent, he was responsible for all the news from the United States.

In 1996 Groenhuijsen returned to the United States, when he was appointed Bureau-chief for NOS tv and radio based in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n
Nowadays Charles Groenhuijsen is an independent writer, speaker and consultant. He has written many columns and a number of bestselling books on American culture. He has proven himself to be an excellent moderator of discussions, seminars and conferences, but also in his own right as a highly acclaimed speaker.
