    Valentijn van der Valk

    Valentijn studied Sports and Leisure Management at Fontys University in Sittard (the Netherlands). During this study he had the opportunity to experience sport in many different ways. In 2001 he cycled from Utrecht in Holland to Rome in Italy (2200 km). With this cyclingtrip he collected fl. 4000 from sponsors. From Rome he took the plane to Ethiopia. There he used the sponsored money to buy balls, toys and schoolmaterial for Ethiopian children.

     

    Together we dream, together we live

    Together since December 2000
    Married: August 10th 2005

    For both of us, sports have always been very important to develop ourselves. We love it, but we need it as well!

     

    Our dream

    We were dreaming of traveling, exploring and playing long before it became visible for everybody. Even for ourselves. In 2005 the plan became more serious and three years later we left Holland. Before our departure we both quited our jobs and we gave up our house. And there we stood: two bicycles and a lot of luggage, just the two of us, leaving our lovely families behind and a with a big question mark in front of us. What will future bring?

    Our plan was to cycle around the Mediterranean Sea. On our way we wanted to search for a place to live, to work, to build up a new life. As well as all our plans, they're flexibable so now, once we've discovered the freedom of this way of living, we want to continue for a while. Our plans for the future are still alive, but we want to grap opportunities when the appear. For now that's: playing, discovering, learning, in ourselves and in the beatiful world!
