From a very young age Henk dreamt of discovering the world, but despite his hunger for travel, his ambitions were stifled by fear. But in 2011 he decided to just do it, and in the years that followed he hitchhiked across two continents, walked from England to Rome, and cycled from the Netherlands to Istanbul. Henk now travels the world sharing his conviction that pushing our boundaries makes us grow in unimaginable ways. From a very young age Henk dreamt of discovering the world, but despite his hunger for travel, his ambitions were stifled by fear.
He told himself he was too young, too skinny, and too inexperienced. But in 2011 he decided to just do it. In the years that followed, he hitchhiked across two continents, walked from England to Rome, and cycled from the Netherlands to Istanbul. He also slept in caves, was chased by
feral dogs, and stood face to face with a grizzly bear. His fears turned out to be completely unjustified, and Henk decided to embark on even
greater adventures. He paddled the entire Mississippi River in a boat, and walked 6000 km through Europe and the Middle-East, completely without money. By leaving himself no way out he forced himself to keep moving forward. And despite hunger, thirst, and blisters, he achieved his goal. Henk is convinced that pushing our boundaries makes us grow in unimaginable ways, and he now travels the world encouraging people to say YES! more.
