Wie zit er achter de organisatie?
Hi, mijn naam is Mara Goorts, en ik omarm graag mijn avontuurlijke kant. Ik heb al veel over de wereld gereisd, ik plaats hierbij de reiservaring boven het verhogen van aantal landen dat ik heb bezocht. Liever doe ik aan slow travel en leer ik het echte lokale leven kennen. Inmiddels heb ik een tijdje in Spanje, Australië, Verenigd Koninkrijk en Argentinië gewoond.
Tijdens mijn vlucht naar Nieuw Zeeland in 2019 had ik voor het eerst vliegschaamte. Het hele jaar door hanteer ik een duurzame levensstijl, maar ik stapte wel in het vliegtuig naar de andere kant van de wereld. Daar heb ik besloten dat ik voor de bergen niet meer wil vliegen. Europa heeft zoveel moois te bieden, dit wil ik graag met jullie delen.
Mijn talent voor organiseren, mijn liefde voor wat reizen je kan brengen en het besef dat we echt onze manier van reizen wel iets duurzamer kan, zijn de redenen geweest om te starten met dit initiatief. Ik geloof dat we de negatieve effecten van reizen kunnen ombuigen naar een positieve bijdrage voor zowel de natuur als de lokale gemeenschap. En dat jij thuiskomt met lokale, authentieke reiservaringen die je bijblijven.
Veel reisplezier,
Mara Goorts

We enjoyed! We went on the sailing weekend in January and it was really fantastic. We considered ourselves lucky with the good weather (when sailing in January you don't immediately think of glorious weather), but the skipper said that it always opens up on the Wadden and there are... Lees verder only a handful of days when it is gray all day. Anyone can help with sailing and that is definitely recommended, even if you have no experience with sailing! Everything was extremely well organised. The food was delicious and the activities were great. The highlight was the drying out of the mudflats. Very special to be able to walk around on the sandbank with such a small group and spot seals. In addition to draining, there were other activities that we would not have thought of ourselves, but that were really fun and provided more knowledge about the island. Finally, being together with the group. You are on a ship so you are in contact with each other a lot, but that was very natural and it was just great fun. You can do things together, but you also certainly have the space for your own activities and needs. In short, a very special experience that I highly recommend!
We had a delightful time during our Bike and Brew adventure. The trip was as nice as the people met ! The organisation was perfect and rented bikes were great. Thank you Mara !
Went on the first "Sail into the Dark Sky weekend" with Sustainable Adventurer. What a great experience: perfect organization, interesting and inspiring activities, and above all Mara is a friendly, enthousiastic and warm host. Perfect trip!

Made a super fun sailing trip in January on the Wadden Sea. When traveling it is often the case that the destination is the best part, but for me the highlight in this case was the trip to and from Terschelling. It's great to all keep such a sailing ship... Lees verder on course and hear about the adventures of the skipper. Recommended.
Mara is a reliable organizer who is a pleasure to work with. Her guests were very enthusiastic about the sailing trip to Terschelling. On to more collaborations!

Reliable, sincere and involved, just to name a few positive characteristics of this company. I’ve been on the first sailing weekend with them, it was truly a great experience with like-minded people.
