This week my book was published! (Dutch)

Next: Camino Sanabrés (May 2024)
My book 'Het leven is te kort om op kantoor te zitten' (Life is too short to sit in an office) has been published!



In the summer of 2015 I took a sabbatical from work to rethink my life. I walked from Burgundy on the Le Puy route and the Francés to Santiago and decided that this was the life I wanted to live: simple, physical, outside, less stuff, closer to nature and without impressive job titles.

A year ago I moved to the Spanish countryside and started writing a book about my transformation. With my book I hope to inspire other people to go and do what they love.

Taken from my garden, I am a lucky person!

That is up to the publisher, I guess. But I don't think I will be that lucky...
