As a kid, I dreamed of becoming an explorer. I imagined traveling to remote places where no one had ever been, overcoming challenges, and feeling the satisfaction of achieving something remarkable. I’m convinced that if I had lived centuries ago, I would have been Lieke Louise ‘Columbus.’

I love to travel, but not just ordinary travel – I crave trips filled with excitement, challenges, and adventure. Many people ask me how I come up with my travel plans and how I manage to make them happen. So, I thought I’d write it down to help you make your journeys more exciting. To take you a bit further off the beaten path into the wild world. Because life is boring without exploring.
