CHALLENGES

It will be impossible to keep the distance in airplanes, airports and trains, so many people will for a while not use these transport modes because they are afraid. People who do, risk at spreading the virus. (May, 2020)

CONCERNS

I have two points: one is that because of the drecreasing economic, it will be very difficult to find a job after I finish university next year. The other one is that we want to rebuild our economic as fast as possible and substainability will be forgotten. Anf of course the health of my family. (October, 2020)

IDEAS

A seemingly easy solution is a better distribution in destinations, places, tourism products. For example: when I was in Zakynthos, Greece, everyone one the island had the infamous »shipwreck« beach on their minds. Everyone wanted to go there (as you can see in the picture, me included). It's really something. BUT, just a few minutes away there was a stunning, picture-perfect hidden beach with white sand, exceptional views and no people. Exactly, NONE. I hope I made my point clear. I am still really happy I got to see that beach, I will never forget it. (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

Resources that each of us can contribute is humanity. It is important that even in such difficult times as these, no one forgets about the other. And because I am still quite young and fit, I can try to help others who are not doing so well as much as possible with all the possibilities I have. (December, 2020)
