Thnx2
So many people helped me and inspired me during my travels and during recording the video.
First of all I’d like to thank Vincent van Lettow of Lettow Studios. When I told him about my plans he immediately was enthusiastic to build this website. Together with Sander Viddeleer en Mark Hoekveen he turned my wishes into this beautiful site. It’s really fun working with them and I truly appreciate their creativity, great support and long lasting patience. Thank you so much guys!
Mom, thanks for your long lasting support! I know it wasn’t always easy for you but do remember that your e-mails with words of love, great artworks or just the daily stories always cheered me up. You are the most important woman in my life and I’m proud of the person you are!
Dad, I know the thing you wanted the most, is me coming home. I kept my promiss, I got home before Christmas
Thank you so much for all your help, from selling my car, moving out my stuff and helping me paying my taxes. And your daily stories and words of love made a deep impact on me too. I really appreciate you being in my life and looked forward to hold you again.
Maarten, bro, thank you soooo much for giving my babies a good home. I know Bommel is your big love and you threated Saartje, the queen, good because she is the most precious thing I have. I’m so proud of you running your own business and seeing you on the webcam made me smile.
Mattijs, sweet bro, you might not realize it but you inspired me to start this journey. You encouraged me to take the first exciting steps into the unknowing. Not every inch of my second step is visible and I do now know that trust in the good side of the unknowing is the main thing that will lead me at my path. I wish you the same peaceful trust!
Sara, you took care of the most important thing in my life and I cannot ever thank you enough for that! The thought of Saartje being with you gave me a safe and good feeling. Saartje has a second mom and I got a new friend. Big hug for you!
Fran & Gees, thank you so much for you company the last month in Central America! I really laughed my ass off with you girls. What a fun, what a stories; deep ones and relaxing no-nonsense ones. I carry lots of great memory-pictures with me!!
Eldon, crew and dolphins at Anthony’s Key Resort….. you all made me speechless! Thank you so much for supporting my catwalk movie and the snorkling and playing with the dolphins. Really one of the best moments!!!

Thank you Ton & Zilla for having me at your B&B Villagio Verde. I enjoyed staying at your beautiful place, talking, cooking pasta and eating your fried rice!
Thank you Barbara from ReefGliders for all the contacts you gave me together with the wonderful dives. You and the crew showed me what a diveshop should be like: professional, friendly and taking time to explore under water life. Thank you all!

Thank you Renita & Cindy of Changes in Latitudes B&B for letting me stay at your amazing Bed & Breakfast at Ambergris Caye, Belize. Thanks to you I had a great time on Belize. Not only you spoiled me with giving me the beautiful boatroom and most delicious breakfasts, you also introduced me to a lot of great people and experiences. From the first day I arrived you made me feel at home. Sometimes words aren’t enough to show your gratitude, but I’ll give it a try: THNX!!!!!!!
Thanks to Lil’Alfonse I had the most amazing snorkle adventure you can imagine. Alfonse showed all the great fish underwater and…. let me hold his friend-shark!!
