It’s beautiful the way the stars aligned - A million stars.
I love following inspiring adventurers on instagram. Then one day I thought: ‘how cool would it be to meet these people in person. To share time together, to have all day to connect, talk, listen and learn from them!’ So I decided to invite them over for dinner at my place. 16 amazing people, ranging from 21 years old to 62 years young: English Channel swimmers 🏊♀️, Alpine climbers ⛰️ World walkers 🌍, Nepal charity founders 🇳🇵, Hooked Pelgrims 🚶♀️ , Continental bikers 🚴, Bestselling authors 📕, Houseless adventurers 🏡 , Business builders 🌟 , Wild campers ⛺️, Fulltime adventurers 🐫, Searching idealists 🐘 , Festival Creators 🎪, Hitch hikers 👍, Dirtbagging rock climbers 🏔️ m, Solo adventurers 🇳🇿 & ‘Alone’ winners 🏆 . Most of whom were total strangers to me and each other. Each storytellers, doing amazing things out in nature. Happy misfits, just like me.
We walked, talked and sat in a circle in my living room, around the fireplace 🔥, where we felt a sense of belonging. Dreamers who dó their dreams and who are also able to create a successful business around their passion.
I invited 5 of the guests to give a Talk about a wide range of topics. So many new insights, Wow, just wow! The trail has transformed my life in so many ways I couldn’t have dreamt of. The trail provides - Always.
16 storytellers with a million followers combined - that’s more than Playboy or NOS sport, Het NRC or De Telegraaf, de Volkskrant, The Sun or RTL nieuws - just saying.
16 storytellers who simply love hiking/swimming/biking/climbing/bush crafting & camping under a million stars.
‘A million stars’ is born.
Counting my blessings… millions of them.
