Favorite Quote: Het begint weer te kriebelen, ik moet weer gaan reizen!
The Perfect Day: Waking up in a hut on the beach somewhere on an island in Asia. The first thing I see when I open my eyes is the sea. The first thing I do is to crawl from my bed to my hammock on the front porch. Breakfast will be a delicious milkshake and banana pancakes. All day long I'm lying in my hammock reading my book, I stare at the sea, I talk to local people and I go snorkelling. To end this lovely day: a candlelight dinner at the beach and a relaxing massage!
Dream Job: I wish I could do AAVE trips all year round!
Dream Vacation: Visit a tribe in the jungle where nobody else has been before. After that I go to Nepal to trek in the Anapurna. And to end my vacation I fly to an exotic island to do absolutely nothing all day long.
What I do when I'm not at AAVE: I'm a nomad...driving my campervan all the way around Australia, traveling through Asia on a motorbike, visiting family in Europe..To get some money in between travels I work as a personal trainer or as a phys ed teacher.
