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

20190913_131704.jpg

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.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

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...
