…tty great for introverts, I would say, but not only! Badass Tours focus on people: badass people from the past who shaped the city (and sometimes the world), who brought change and fought for it, who are more or less known in the mainstream history. When you join one of their tours, you are invariably fascinated by the stories you hear. Even locals discover stories and people that they never heard of and learn how to look at their city in a differ…

To wrap things up, one random question which I picked from your deck of cards: What’s one thing that everyone else seems to like that you could never get into? Considering my background in video, this might seem strange, but I could never get into vlogging. I have plenty of friends who have done it and more than a…

…anyone makes me feel free and happy. I do also like travelling with other people, but I have a very exclusive list of people I can travel with, and I’ve never been a fan of group holidays. During my solo holidays I’ve learned that I am a great companion for myself. That I can handle unexpected situations. I am braver now. In my first trip, I didn’t dare to stay out after the night fell and I suffered because in Lisbon the streets are packed with…

…ng to connect the socially disadvantaged. It’s every filmmaker’s fear that people will hate their movie. If people leave Tuschinski disliking my movie, at least they leave with more knowledge about De Regenboog Groep and having donated money to their cause. What do you do when you’re not making movies?

…ndael as our base. The orchards remain as the hub and occasionally we help people plant other locations. It takes a lot of energy, people and time to run community projects as they grow. It is well worth the effort but now my focus is on making a difference through my apprentices and the bees… “When we know how to use the plants, for simple remedies and food, we become slightly less dependent on the commercial system which makes the city vulnerabl…
