About:

As a life long tourist and traveler, I did my first individual explorations in Delft in the Netherlands as a 7 year old. After University, I decided traveling was my destiny and soon I was leading tours in the Netherlands and Indonesia. Once I encountered Emergency Travel Assistance, I embarked upon a 25 year career helping tourists and business travelers find the right doctor wherever they are, getting them well enough to continue their travels or get them to fly home safely with the assistance required. 

All those years I traveled, all over Europe, the Middle East, India, North America, the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil. I was fluent in 7 seven languages at some point. I became an expert at maximizing ANY time off during a business trip and seeing more in one day than others would see in five. Once the work was done, I was ready to explore and enjoy any new place. Colleagues from around the world depended on me to have a program. And I was always having great fun doing it ! 

So I look at the process of travel from inside and out, how does it work, why do we do it, what really makes you as our visitors tick and how do we make sure that everyone's travels are unforgettable. You never know when you are making a memory, but touring with me I am sure that you will.
