Who am I?

Meet Your Hiking Guide in Tenerife
I was born and raised in Helmond, the Netherlands. And in 1998, I was in Tenerife, and my family was still alive during my months, my natural life, and my adventure in the air. Plus, I have a great idea of ​​what it’s like to be part of the recovery:
trail running, climbing, canyoneering, orienteering, and of course, hiking: this is the way to go with the variations of the Earth’s volcanoes.
As a certified mountain and hiking guide in Tenerife, I have completed several official training courses in Spain, including: – Certified Hiking Guide (Guía de Senderismo) – Specialization as a Mountain Guide (Guía de Montaña) – Qualified Guide in Teide National Park – Canyoning Guide Training
I also worked as a guide in underground volcanic tunnel systems, where I learned how the landscape is formed from the inside—and figuratively.

My vision: Personal, Authentic and Sustainable

For me, hiking isn’t just about reaching the summit, but about enjoying the journey. That’s why all my routes are small-scale, personal, and with a strong focus on people, nature, and culture. Sustainable tourism and supporting the local economy are core values ​​in everything we do. Tenerife is much more than sun, sand, and sea. I’d love to show you the true essence of the island: the laurel forests, volcanic mountain ranges, and hidden valleys—places where you can still experience the silence of nature, far from the crowds. I look forward to welcoming you on one of our guided routes and discovering the heart of Tenerife together.
