I tried to do my second pilgrimage in the summer of 2017. This time I walked from my hometown Soest in The Netherlands to The border of Luxembourg. In the coming years I hope to continue my walk to Italy. By the way, I'm a vegetarian.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite musical period is the Sixties. But I also love classical music. Singing, playing the piano and the guitar, that's what I like very much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2009 I walked 2.500 km from my hometown Soest (Holland) to Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

Teach, Learn, Share

A long time ago I was a teacher. Now I hope to meet a lot of new people and learn how they live.
