About Me

Two years ago I left with my bicycle from Belgium to visit eco communities, yoga schools, permaculture farms, ... I was looking for community life. I crossed the pyrenees and drove to the south of Spain. There I started to build a community on a land that was inherited by an association. After several months I decided to quit the project and to continue my search for community. I am yoga teacher, massage therapist and passionate about permaculture farming. Last year I worked in a surfers lodge as a yoga teacher and massage therapist. At the moment I work as a manager of a retreat center in Zeeland, the Netherlands.

About myself: i would consider myself as an active person with the energy to do lots of different stuff. I am vegan and I love to cook , do different sports ( cycling, acrobatics climbing, surfing), i am a yoga teacher (hatha, ashtanga) and spirituality is important to me. I play the guitar, recently picked the piano up again and i love singing. Also climate change and activism occupies my time. Further i have been a youth worker for a long time. Hmm that's about it in a nutshell, the rest you'll have to discover for yourself :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving Belgium with my bicycle, camping in the forests, climbing the alps and Pyrenees. I passed by eco communities, volunteered at farms and retreat centers, learned about plant medicine, bio dynamism, yoga, music , ... and at the moment stranded in the south of Spain. But the journey is not yet finished.
