Profile details
About
Originally from The Netherlands, now residing in Portugal with my three kids. When I am not planning, booking (and enjoying!) trips, I love to spend my time in the water to surf, dive or free dive. Passionate about sustainable travel.
Travel style
I love to visit different destinations and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences while staying at luxury boutique hotels. I like to be active, especially in the water, and I like to explore other cultures and sites. I am very passionate about responsible and sustainable travel so my focus is on destinations and activities with companies that share the same values.
