TOURISM MEANS

Once someone said that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, and I couldn’t agree more. Because, to me, travel means to live fully, to accept others, to learn in every area you can and to allow the world to shape you into the best person you can truly be. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

I had to find a concept to be able to follow my job as a mountainbike guide and a tennis teacher. I had to split the customers into smaller groups and because of that I made 1/4 more hours than last year by the same salary. (October, 2020)

CONCERNS

The recovery from coronavirus will see those who are not committed to sustainability say we have to postpone such concerns and focus on growth.

Those who are committed to sustainability risk believing too greatly that 'this is our moment', and not challenging our own assumptions enough. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Maybe we needed this pandemic to get our eyes opened. My generation, we were all born to see the world in rose-colored glasses. Our parents were able to give us everything we needed, we were allowed to go to school, to have enough to eat and to have many other privileges the generation before us did not have. And the only thing we are concerned about, was not seeing our friends or go partying for a month.
