Hello, happy you are here!

I was lucky to grew up in Canada and France, I studied in the Netherlands and then worked with passion in Hotel management around the world for more than 15 years. Seeing the effects tourism was having on our precious planet and enlarging the distance between people instead of closing them, I decided to redirect my energy towards being part of the solution.  After biking in Africa, picking up plastic of Indonesian beaches and doing a deep dive into agriculture, I am finding her way back into the heart of nature again through restoration.

Participating in this restoration course confirmed, that I was on the right path.  I have helped to plant a food forest and have built a lovely network in Amsterdam through several initiatives, I went to read nature in Portugal and while helping with water retention and wind breaks, visiting many projects and inspiring people. 

She is currently assisting Wilderland to find customers in the hotel and restaurant scene and attempting to change the system with Fairbnb.coop, to allow the strength of tourism to contribute to restoring local ecosystems. And writing a book with 3 fellow transition conscious like minded beings about the needed transition in tourism and how to embrace the potential of change for good.

And to keep the hands in actions and feet on the ground she helping on a community village farm just over the border in Germany near Nij megen employing biodynamic methods.

Her cultural awareness, adaptability, eye for efficiency and opportunities, and love for connecting people are transferable skills that are needed in the transition we are going through. She is working hard to make her dream come true: living in a workhouse made of reed that helped to restore peat lands in the Netherlands, combined with travels to future restoration projects around the world, be it in Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan or Indonesia.
