My dream was to turn my hobby into my career. I started to do instructor course at the age of 16 and I have been working as a ski & snowboard instructor ever since. I studied Sports Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Groningen. During my studies I worked as an event manager in water and winter sports. I have organized international kitesurfing events in the Netherlands and the Caribbean.

In the summer months I work as a kite surfing instructor and tour guide. I fly all over the world to go kite surfing in beautiful places and to let people enjoy this beautiful sport. My favorite sports can also be combined and then it is called Snowkiting. we use the kite to go up instead of the lift and you can cruise through the mountains in no time. it may sound extreme but it is more accessible as you may think. For the last 2 years I have been organizing snow kite trips to Alp dhuez in France with KiteActive. I hope to meet you soon in the powder or on a beautiful white beach.
