Itinerary

The Green Sense tour is a project running from October 2013 until August 2014. I will work in sustainable start-ups during one month. While travelling in between those five start-ups, I will meet other green changemakers and entrepreneurs. On my way I will be meeting other members of MakeSense informally, in a Sense Drink or in a Hold-up.


Have a look at my itinerary. The map shows place where I have been (connected by a line) and the places where I want to go in the near future. 

My itinerary  so far and the adventures to come:

  • December 2013 -January 2014: travelling by hitchhiking over land to Morocco via Southern Europe (Greece, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France, Spain) with a little stop for Christmas in Belgium.
  • January 2014: Project with Enactus Morocco. I traveled around Morocco to inspire the Enactus project teams with a workshop on 'Sustainability and Innovation'. In each city I had private sessions with teams to give customized advice. Read more about it here
  • February 2014: 2 weeks of inspiration and energy in Spain. Preparing my next project in Morocco. 
  • March 2014: Travelling over land to Burkina Faso. Passing by in Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal and Mali. 
  • April 2014: Working with a small social enterprise called Canari Frigo which offers a product to cool fruit and vegetable without electricity. I worked on their marketing and sales. 
  • May 2014: Travelling back from Burkina Faso through Europe to Belgium. Loads of wonderful encounters and inspiration. 
  • June 2014-July 2014: Working with Confitures Re-Belles in Paris, France. This is a green start-up who wants to make jam from would-be wasted fruits. 
  • July 2014: Travelling through Europe visiting other entrepreneurs working with food waste. 
  • August 2014: Summer school theJourney organized by Climate-KIC in Darmstadt, Kassel, Zürich and Wageningen. This 5-week summer school gathers young people to learn about climate change and develop business ideas to tackle it. Read more about it here
