Hello! I'm the founder of the Travel Local Collective and SHIFT    I'm a seasoned and expert who has worked with some of the best tourism marketing and organizations in the world. Closest to my heart, I'm also co-founder of Indigenous Worx, a proud ally of and communities around the world who are rebuilding their economies and community well-being based on their own values and practices. As a political economics graduate and MBA, my values have always drawn me to ideas, philosophies and innovations that make the world more just, fair, safe and healthy. Doughnut Economics and its ideas resonate deeply with me, and I believe it is an essential framework for the post-vaccine era and beyond. The world of travel needs reinvention. Now more than ever, travellers are looking for greater emotional benefits from the destinations and experiences they do business with. They want to know that you value the same things they do. These local explorers care deeply about Indigenous cultures, go to greater lengths to minimize their environmental footprint, proudly support local artisans and growers, and fiercely defend what made a community worth visiting in the first place. We're here to help you show them you believe what they believe. Travel Local is our response to the call.  We're a new collective of experts passionately dedicated to .  We offer strategy, marketing, destination development and operations support designed for a smaller world , because today's best customer wants travel to transform and regenerate, not just recover.

We believe we are at the intersection of climate change, culture and community. We aim to reverse the impacts of the polycrisis facing us and enable our communities to build resilience through a circular economy. The Doughnut resonates deeply with us and we are thrilled to be developing and adapting kaupapa/projects that reflect the need to balance and prioritise systems change at all levels of society. WE are currently working on a Tribal Summit for a Circular Economy 2024 and a Kai (Food) Systems Strategy for our region. 

Nijmegen, The Netherlands

I am an Assistant Professor at the chair group of Economic Theory and Policy at Radboud University. I am co-coordinating the multi-disciplinary hotspot Transformative sustainable change in Action at my institute and lead the Participatory Policy Hub with Sustainable Futures Global. My research focuses on transformations and transformative governance towards post-growth and post-development models. My main empirical focus is West and Central Africa.   Since my first year as a student in economics, I have been struggling with the content of what I learned. I was lucky enough however to study at a University (Lille) with a real pluralist non-mainstream institute (Clersé, gathering heterodox economists and sociologists), and realised how much the assumptions and foundations of the economics field are wicked. Now I am back as an Assistant Professor in an economics department in the Netherlands that is not the usual type and one of my goals being an academic is to contribute to changing the discipline and the way we teach from the inside.  Being part of this action lab is an amazing opportunity for this. Besides, we can see so many changes in society as in academia. However, economics departments are not changing or very slowly in comparison, and it is urgently needed as economists are mainly heard when formulating recommendations. Let’s join forces!

I want to be part of the road towards a sustainable future. After obtaining my two Master’s degrees in Business Economics: Marketing (Ghent University) and in Sustainable Management (Uppsala University), I am ready to put theory into practice and to keep learning. I believe my soft skills communication, teamwork and problem-solving are a great asset in the workplace. About me: I’m positive, easy-going and love to connect with people from all over the world. By living in different countries (🇧🇪🇫🇷🇸🇪🇪🇸), I got to know different languages, cultures and perspectives. It also increased my adaptability and taught me that I thrive in an international and multidisciplinary environment, thanks to its richness of views and opinions. In my free time, I like to go scuba diving, play volleyball and go snowboarding.
