She is co-founder of Perennial Kitchen Experiences, a travel company focused on herbs and nutrition, as well as East Coast Director at Artigo Tours, a behind-the-scenes art tour company.

in her own words:

Creating one-of-a-kind travel experiences, that’s my thing: Diving in, finding unexpected gems anywhere in the world, and designing an inspiring itinerary for my guests. It’s always been about exploring new destinations and returning to old favorites for me, making new memories, and cherishing the ones I have. After growing up in a small town in The Netherlands, I lived, studied, and worked in Hong Kong, Seoul, Madrid, Amsterdam, Michigan, Antwerp, and The Hague. Right now, I am based in Brooklyn, New York City. For two decades I have created and organized trips for friends, families, lone travelers, museums, and much more. For the last ten years, I also organized and co-led exclusive international tours at a boutique art travel company where we focus on behind-the-scenes experiences. I should probably not tell anyone this but I would do this for free. I love it so much.
