Based in Cascais, Portugal
As a travel advisor based in the charming coastal town of Cascais, Portugal, my journey has been shaped by a lifelong passion for exploration and a deep commitment to sustainability. Raised in the Netherlands, my early years were filled with adventurous travels that ignited a desire to uncover the world's hidden gems. This wanderlust took on a new dimension when I earned my PADI certification in Curaçao at sixteen, revealing the breathtaking beauty and fragility of our oceans. My experiences have led me to establish The Blue Surfer, a platform dedicated to promoting sustainable travel. I work closely with hotels to encourage eco-friendly practices and empower travelers to make conscious choices that minimize their environmental footprint. Living in Cascais with my three children, I embrace the coastal lifestyle, enjoying surfing, yoga, and participating in dive cleanups. I believe that the future of travel lies in sustainability, benefiting everyone from local communities to hotels and tour operators. My vision extends beyond conservation, focusing on the well-being of our oceans and communities by supporting initiatives that balance tourism with preservation. I am dedicated to helping you discover destinations that not only offer unique experiences but also contribute to a more sustainable world. Let's collaborate to create journeys that leave a positive impact, preserving the beauty of our planet for future generations.
