Adventurer
My life as an adventurer started with Move The Earth, an initiative I created in 2018 to run from the Netherlands to Italy for happiness. The journey was so magical that it changed my life completely.
GO TO MOVE THE EARTHRun for happiness
In 2019 I ran from The Netherlands to Italy for happiness. I asked: what can I do that makes YOU happy? People would ask me to hug trees, do crazy dances and make pavement chalk drawings! I called them acts of joy, which I performed on the journey.
In Rome, a videographer interviewed me about my adventure.

Catsitter and nomad
After my running adventure I returned to the Netherlands. I didn't have a home. A friend suggested to travel from home to home and take care of cats. What started as an experiment, became a nomad life.
I still do this, since december 2024 abroad for the first time. With lots of love for the quicks and curiosity of the cat.
Run for freedom
My run for happiness inspired me to go on more running adventures, all with the intention to move people around the world.
One of them was to run for 75 years of freedom in The Netherlands. Amidst the Corona crisis I ran from Spijkenisse to the beach in The Hague. To celebrate the freedom we have and to let my past get carried away by the waves of the sea.

Run for nature
One other journey was to run across Flevoland in The Netherlands. 212 kilometers in one go, without any sleep. To explore, capture and thank the wonder of nature. I didn't complete the run, but it gave me so much beauty and stillness. Below you see Schokland at night.
