People who know me, know I always try to avoid riv People who know me, know I always try to avoid river crossings. Yes, I know it is not so bad after you’ve done it. But still, I would rather run 20KM extra than run through cold water and continue with wet feet. 

For some reason, I got very excited when one of my @trcu.nl running buddies told me about a trail that goes through a river bed. On the pictures, I saw that most of it dried up over the years and for the remaining part, the water was at ankle height. Well, not this time of the year. Most of it was waste height…and the trail went right through it. No turning back! I could not move very fast and it turned out to be a battle against sunset. Most of the time I was squeezed between two tall mountains, so detours were not an option.

Perhaps it was slightly reckless to do this on my own. But it was one of the most beautiful trails I’ve ever ‘ran’. Highly recommend it - but perhaps not in January 😅.

Running in the Spanish mountains, meeting only two Running in the Spanish mountains, meeting only two other people in a few hours time. Spotted some deers and some really cool birds of which I do not know the names (yet!). Had to extend this part of my ‘run’ a bit to avoid a hunting area. It turned into climbing more than running, but the hardest part was almost over. The dessert of today was a 10KM ‘run’ downhill through an arroyo - a nearly river dry bed. Little did she know…

For the first time in my life, I opened a wedding For the first time in my life, I opened a wedding and closed a funeral with a speech. Sounds like a pretty accurate summary of the past year.

Bye 2022. When I look back at you, a stinky aftertaste sticks. In January, we said goodbye to grandma and since June our world has turned upside down. 

While the aftertaste sticks, I am still very grateful for some beautiful things that happened last year:

1. Some fantastic travels with the van (with Croatia as absolute highlight!). Buying a Ventje, right before the rest of The Netherlands wanted one, was definitely a great decision!

2. Inspiring worktrips to London, Berlin, Rwanda, Kenya and India - meeting even more inspiring people (including Mary Robinson!). I feel very privileged to have a job like this.

3. Running in some really awesome places (including two ultra marathons in France - of which one ended slightly differently than planned). These days I feel so out of shape that I almost forgot about the crazy distances (both races and trainings) I ran in the first half of the year.

These three refer to traveling elsewhere for some adventure, fun and inspiration. But for me this year was much more about appreciating what I have, right here at home. Living in a place I can call home - with the two best ‘roomies’ I could wish for, being healthy, working in a place with people I can call my friends, having friends & family at a bike ride away from home and being able to step outside to go for a run - whenever I want to & in picture perfect places like the one on the photo.

Tradition: running three laps at the Sylvestercros Tradition: running three laps at the Sylvestercross in Soest. Unless you have a hangover, then you can get away with one. 

Went for three this time and got my butt kicked by my neighbour. Perfect way to end this year! ☀️🤘🏾

Two happy puppies. Not because it was pouring rain Two happy puppies. Not because it was pouring rain the whole day but because we just bought pastries of at least 50.000 calories in this shop. You love it or you hate it, but you cannot visit Den Bosch without buying ‘Bossche Bollen’!

Rural livelihoods can be unproductive, heavy on ma Rural livelihoods can be unproductive, heavy on manual labour, unhealthy, costly and dangerous. Fortunately, there are many solutions that help overcoming these challenges. 

Usually, I visit communities to see how these solutions are implemented and how they are benefiting people. This time, I also got to visit a blacksmith who was still using a diesel generator and a selfmade machine. The piece that is slamming on the tool that he is making weights 100kg. It sometimes comes off. It felt like at least 60 degrees in the space where he was working. I spent 15 minutes inside and walked away with red eyes because of the smoke. This men works here from 03:00 till at least 13:00 - every single day.

An hour of free time to spend with @cyclingsultan! An hour of free time to spend with @cyclingsultan! We’re in India for two weeks to attend some very inspiring events, meeting our partners and visiting communities. Weeks like this are always exhausting but they do give a million times as much energy back. 

I feel so lucky to do the work I do - and to do it with lovely people like this one.
